I am getting this (seemingly common) error attempting to build file metadata. I am running Talend Studio 7.3.1 on Oracle Java 8, Windows 10. I have confirmed that the source file is encoded as UTF-8. This happens on (at least) Excel, json, and delimited metadata:
Error Message: The type java.lang.Object cannot be resolved. It is indirectly referenced from required .class files
Preview error. Some settings must be changed.
Note: Preview errors are generally due to a wrong encoding setting.
org.talend.designer.runprocess.shadow.ShadowFilePreview.preview(ShadowFilePreview.java:90)
org.talend.metadata.managment.ui.utils.ShadowProcessHelper.getCsvArray(ShadowProcessHelper.java:383)
org.talend.repository.ui.wizards.metadata.connection.files.delimited.DelimitedFileStep2Form$PreviewProcessor.nonUIProcessInThread(DelimitedFileStep2Form.java:1309)
org.talend.commons.ui.swt.thread.SWTUIThreadProcessor$1.run(SWTUIThreadProcessor.java:74)
This is the output of "java -version" (I have tried running Talend under both Zulu Java 11 and Oracle Java, the result is always the same):
java version "1.8.0_281"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_281-b09)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.281-b09, mixed mode)
This is my .ini file:
-vm C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_281\bin
-vmargs
-Xms512m
-Xmx4096m
-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8
-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.8
-XX:+UseG1GC
-XX:+UseStringDeduplication
-XX:MaxMetaspaceSize=512m
Any help is appreciated. I understand this is usually a Java version issue, but I don't know what else I can do. I have tried multiple ostensibly supported versions of Java already.
