Build failure on Debian 13 with OpenJDK 21 - Compilation fails in core-pva module

[XavSPM]

Hello,

I have a compilation problem on Debian 13 with the latest version.

I therefore tested with a Docker container running Fedora and was able to successfully compile Phoebus.

Do you have any idea what might be causing this?

[georgweiss]

Do you have more from the maven build output? Like what class(es) that failed to compile?

[XavSPM]

Here is the command with the -X option for Maven:

Are you running the build in a Docker container on Debian?

[XavSPM]

I had tried to compile directly on my Debian machine.

I just ran the test in a Debian 13 Docker container and it worked fine.
So it seems the problem comes from my computer.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

[kasemir]

There should be some more specific error message before "[INFO] BUILD FAILURE".
core-pva is the first module built, so it's not necessarily a compilation error in there but rather some overall environment issue
