Have been trying to set it up for hours now. Nothing works.
- Latest version does not seem to have winutils support, and using it causes errors when using some important methods. (EDIT: this is likely wrong, and the winutils stuff that I have should probably be fine.)
- Older versions require to be built with Maven. However, that just gives me a
PluginExecutionException.
I need to do this ASAP, preferably within the next 3 hours.
I have nowhere else to ask for help, it seems, especially considering that 
suspended an account I set up specifically for asking questions after I edited a relevant post.
Highly doubt that anybody will be able to help me.
EDIT2: the issue has, thankfully, been resolved. I was using Python 3.12, and switched to 3.11.8. That made the problem go away.
One stackoverflow thread mentions running python 3.12. Are you running 3.12? Does it help if you use python 3.11?
Else, an interesting thing might be the “Caused by: java.io.EOFException”, an End Of File Exception.
That actually worked. Thank you.
I have got to say that I have a special hatred for arcane programming errors like in this case.
I am running 3.12. I have not tried running 3.11. Highly doubt that that will change anything, but I guess I’ll try it when I’m able to.
I’m not sure what I have to glean from the EOF exception.
