> at least Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 11 Yeah I stopped right there. I've had enough of one app wanting IBM Java, another wanting Oracle Java, another wanting Sun Java, another wanting 32-bit Java, another wanting 64-bit Java, another wanting Java 8, another wanting Java 11, ... I really wish this were written in literally any other language, ideally one whose compiler can be apt-gotten on a default Ubuntu install.

You could use a docker container. e.g https://github.com/bbernhard/signal-cli-rest-api https://github.com/bbernhard/signal-cli-rest-api (I am the author of REST API wrapper) But I agree with you on that...Java isn't my preferred language either.

Fascinating. I know how to write an app that requires java 8 (just use lambdas) or 11 (just use newish TLS), but wow does one even write an app that needs 32-bit or 64-bit java? Or that works with Sun java but not with others?

  JNI libraries.

    Good point.

  Some apps rely on optional JRE features or even private APIs. Newer Java versions have started blocking private API usage. You can override the block but hopefully, it helps developers become aware of what they’re doing.
