B4J Question malformed input for jdeps

[rboeck]

I am searching for hours how to handle a problem with b4jpackager; my app compiles without problems. But when i use packing, i get this logfile:

I tried all versions of java 8/32 8/64 11 and 14; i tried b4j packager 1.5 for java 8, standalone and integrated. I have a nearly identical app, which i can package without problems.
I renamed my jar file to a zip file and tried to discover some wrong names etc. but without success. How can i find the source of this problem?

You should only use the built-in packager: Integrated B4JPackager11 - The simple way to distribute standalone UI apps

Check the files in the Files folder. Is there any file with non-ASCII characters?

Yes, there was a non used file inside with the german word for link: 'verknüpfung', which is made by the explorer, when you link to a file. I deleted it and it worked!

Thanks!
