# groovy --version
/usr/bin/build-classpath: Could not find /lib/jvm/java Java extension for this JVM
/usr/bin/build-classpath: error: Some specified jars were not found
Groovy Version: 1.8.9 JVM: 1.7.0_79 Vendor: Oracle Corporation OS: Linux

# java -version
java version "1.7.0_79"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (fedora-2.5.5.0.fc20-x86_64 u79-b14)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.79-b02, mixed mode)

Which "Java extension" do you want me to present to you? "Some specified jars"? I didn't specify any. I really love such meaningless messages.

UPDATE 1:

Both of:

# alternatives --config java
# alternatives --config javac

as described in the first link of blackdrag's answer didn't help.

For both There is 1 program that provides 'java[c]' and it is OpenJDK.

The second link didn't help either.

UPDATE 2:

I installed and set as alternative:

# java -version
java version "1.8.0_51"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_51-b16)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.51-b03, mixed mode)

To no avail.

UPDATE 3:

The first message comes from /usr/share/java-utils/java-functions:

Looks like your Java installation is messed up. This text from Redhat here suggest configuring using alternatives tools to select the OpenJDK only. Further tries to fix this are noted in this stackoverflow question "What is wrong with my ant configuration?". But it seems to boil down to not to install the oracle JDK.

EDIT: As per comments I add this workaround to my answer in case those links do not help: That is to download the zip from groovy-lang.org/download.html unpack it, set JAVA_HOME to the correct JDK directory and use the shell scripts in there instead. On the page is also a description for GVM, which is a bit more comfortable to use to install Groovy than the pure zip. Still this bypasses the proper installation on Fedora, so it is supposed to be used only if nothing else works, or if you want only a local installation.

  • So maybe it is not your java, but your groovy installation that is messed up then. I can only suggest a workaround and that would be to use the zip distribution from http://www.groovy-lang.org/download.html and use that instead. Since your Java is working, you may have to set JAVA_HOME, but otherwise you should be able to use groovy directly from that zip. I did not suggest this in the beginning, since you tried the system variant and the package manager. But since those things fail so badly... – blackdrag Jul 22 '15 at 08:44
  • Many thanks for the link! If you make it an answer I'll accept it. If not I'm going to accept my own. – Gerold Broser Jul 22 '15 at 20:44

Uninstalling FC's Groovy and following the instructions at Groovy, Download, GVM (the Groovy enVironment Manager) (Many thanks to blackdrag!) did the trick:

# yum erase groovy
...
# curl -s get.gvmtool.net | bash
...
# source "/root/.gvm/bin/gvm-init.sh"
# gvm install groovy
...
# groovy -version
