Android Question Doesn't SLC tool support void method and no parameter method?

[teddybear]

I'm learning slc tool, according to SLC FirstLib example it works well. I want to add a member and 2 methods-set ,get. SLC compiled is successfully, but the xml seems to have some problems. B4A refreshing library reports Error parsing libraries - Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

SLC version is 1.11， JDK11

FirstLib.java

package b4x.example;

import anywheresoftware.b4a.BA;
import anywheresoftware.b4a.BA.*;

@Version(1.0f)
//@Permissions(values={"android.permission.INTERNET"})
@ShortName("FirstLib")
//@DependsOn(values={"some java library "})
//@ActivityObject
public class FirstLib {
    private String a;
    public int add(int x, int y) { // ok
        return x + y;
    }
  
    public int sub(int x, int y) { // ok
            return x - y;
    }
    public void set(String x) { // Genrated xml is incorrect 
        this.a = x;
    }
    public String get() { //  Genrated xml is incorrect

        return this.a;
    }

}

They seem not to generate method in the xml, just a property.If I give method a type and parameters, the xml file will be ok.

Use Java 8 with SLC.

Use Java 8 with SLC.

From my notes ?

Erel said on the forum 25th August 2020 after another user also encountered problems with Java 11 and BADoclet
"It will be fixed at some point."

Eighteen months and counting!

Use Java 8 with SLC.

I have uninstalled jdk 11 and installed java 8 ,the problem remains.

Which java 8 version is required？
The following is my b4a javac

B4A Version: 11.20
Parsing code.    (0.00s)
    Java Version: 8
Building folders structure.    (0.11s)
Compiling code.    (0.04s)
Compiling layouts code.    (0.01s)
Organizing libraries.    (0.00s)
    (AndroidX SDK)

public void set(String x) { // Genrated xml is incorrect

This is the problem. In a library properties are distinguished from methods by a property having lowercase 'set' or 'get' prefix. This line is confusing BADoclet. Rename it to something more sensible.

Thanks a lot. it works well. I got it, set and get is key words in BADoclet.
