Compile Error

[andrewfer000]

When compiling on Ubuntu 20.04 I get this error when I try to compile

Task :compileJava FAILED
/home/owner/Desktop/RDSSurvey/RdsSurveyor-master/RDSSurveyor/src/eu/jacquet80/rds/ui/MainWindow.java:409: error: local variable stationTuned is accessed from within inner class; needs to be declared final
station = stationTuned.getStation();

On MacOS Catalina, with openjdk 11.0.10 (homebrew install java11) and gradle 7.1.1 (homebrew install gradle), the command gradle jar totally fails.

$ gradle jar

I've tried with an older version of gradle : brew uninstall gradle && brew install gradle@6

$ /usr/local/opt/gradle\@6/bin/gradle jar

Welcome to Gradle 6.9!

Here are the highlights of this release:
 - This is a small backport release.
 - Java 16 can be used to compile when used with Java toolchains
 - Dynamic versions can be used within plugin declarations
 - Native support for Apple Silicon processors

For more details see https://docs.gradle.org/6.9/release-notes.html

Starting a Gradle Daemon (subsequent builds will be faster)

I've managed to compile the app with the following patch :

I'm not a java dev, it's maybe not the best practice but it works now !

.jar directly downloaded from RdsSurveyor site doesn't recognize the RTL dongle on my MacBook Air M1 Monterey, so I decided to compile.

gradle 7.5.1, however (custom installed, together with openjdk 18.0.2, no Homebrew), generates the same error aerogus has experienced with gradle 7.1.1.

I've tried with his suggestion: compiling with gradle 6.9 and setting StationTuned as "final". No cigar: this time compiling fails due to:

> Could not open proj generic class cache for build file '/Users/lawendel/RdsSurveyor/RDSSurveyor/build.gradle' (/Users/lawendel/.gradle/caches/6.9/scripts/4sqjai8kflxufq3ckyh3ym5nf).
   > BUG! exception in phase 'semantic analysis' in source unit '_BuildScript_' Unsupported class file major version 62

Considering the available binary opens but doesn't manage to access the RTL-SDR dongle, I'm afraid the problem lays with Monterey or M1 or both.
