Converting Tag file to RDF exception: NoSuchMethodError

[chris-no1]

I am getting an exception NoSuchMethodError when to convert a tag file to an RDF file by using the TagToRDF class by the convertTagFileToRdf function..

I am using the test file tools-java/testResources/SPDXTagExample-v2.2.spdx from the Github repo. Loading the tag example file works fine and logging the annotations from the file by using the SpdxElement and Annotation classes. The exception is thrown when converting the tag file to RDF, when the function sets behavior by creating a new BuildDocument class. None of the input parameters are null.

Exception

org.spdx.tag.BuildDocument.<init>([Lorg/spdx/rdfparser/SpdxDocumentContainer;Ljava/util/Properties;Ljava/util/List;)V
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError
    at org.clearbyte.persistance.test.SpdxManagerTest.spdxTagFileToRDFTest(SpdxManagerTest.java:61)

TagToRdf class

public static SpdxDocumentContainer convertTagFileToRdf(InputStream spdxTagFile, String outputFormat, List<String> warnings) throws RecognitionException, TokenStreamException,InvalidSpdxTagFileException,InvalidFileFormatException, Exception  {
…
HandBuiltParser parser = new HandBuiltParser(nci);
SpdxDocumentContainer[] result = new SpdxDocumentContainer[1];
parser.setBehavior(new BuildDocument(result, constants, warnings));
parser.data();

My code

public void convertSpdxTagFileToTurtleRdf(InputStream spdxTagFile, OutputStream outputTurtleRdf) {
        List<String> warnings = new ArrayList<>();
        try {
            TagToRDF.convertTagFileToRdf(spdxTagFile, outputTurtleRdf, "TURTLE", warnings);
        } catch (Exception ex) {
            warnings.stream().forEach(x -> log.debug(x));
            log.debug(ex.getLocalizedMessage());            
        }
    }

        </dependency>

I am including the spdx-tools-2.2.7.jar and using Java 11. I haven’t been able to try Java 8 since my project will only accept version 11 or higher. And I didn't find documentation for the intended java version for the /spdx/tools-java.

@chris-no1 I found the problem - you're referencing an older/deprecated version of the spdx-tools above.

Replace:

        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.spdx</groupId>
            <artifactId>spdx-tools</artifactId>
            <version>2.2.7</version>
        </dependency>

with:

        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.spdx</groupId>
            <artifactId>tools-java</artifactId>
            <version>1.0.4</version>
        </dependency>

Tanks Gary.

Is the pdx-tools included in the java-tools for backward compatibility or does it has other purposes?

Just for compatibility as far as I know
