proguard: Can't read [C:\Program Files\AdoptOpenJDK\jdk-11.0.6.10-hotspot\lib\rt.jar]

Issue

I am building a desktop application. I am using ProGuard with the following config:

@proguard_jmods.cfg
#-dontshrink
-dontoptimize
#-dontobfuscate


-repackageclasses ''
-renamesourcefileattribute SourceFile

}

where proguard_jmods.cfg contains the following:

-libraryjars 'C:\Program Files\AdoptOpenJDK\jdk-11.0.6.10-hotspot\jmods\java.base.jmod'
-libraryjars 'C:\Program Files\AdoptOpenJDK\jdk-11.0.6.10-hotspot\jmods\java.desktop.jmod'
-libraryjars 'C:\Program Files\AdoptOpenJDK\jdk-11.0.6.10-hotspot\jmods\java.xml.jmod'

When Run As>Maven Install, I get the following exception thrown:

[proguard] java.io.IOException: Can't read [C:\Program Files\AdoptOpenJDK\jdk-11.0.6.10-hotspot\lib\rt.jar] (No such file or directory: C:\Program Files\AdoptOpenJDK\jdk-11.0.6.10-hotspot\lib\rt.jar)

I check the path for that file, and I don't have it. Any idea how to fix this please? Thank you!

Solution

You have the line <lib>${java.home}/lib/rt.jar</lib> in your configuration for proguard. This is no longer valid in JDK11 as it was removed in that version of Java.

For newer JDKs, see this: Proguard: Can't read C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-15.0.1\lib\rt.jar (No such file or directory)
