can not install nvim-java with lazyvim on termux

[thmudev]

Hello all,

I am new to neovim / lazyvim and have tried to install nvim-java on termux (smartphone/arm)

The problem seems to be the lack of support for hardlinks in Termux. Does anyone have a workaround or a solution for this.

Unfortunately, I have no knowledge or experience in setting up lsp servers manually.

What I have tried myself:
(config atached)

First Error:
[ERROR Sun Feb 16 17:59:59 2025] ...e/nvim/lazy/mason.nvim/lua/mason-core/installer/init.lua:249: Installation failed for Package(name=jdtls) error=spawn: tar failed with exit code 2 and signal 0.
Details:MasonInstall jdtls`

Downloading file "https://github.com/nvim-java/release-jdtls/releases/download/1.43.0/jdtls.tar.gz"…
tar: plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.6.900.v20240613-2009.jar: Cannot hard link to ‘plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.jar’: Permission denied

To work around this, I downloaded the jdtls.tar.gz, removed the hardlinks and uploaded it to my own server

changed the url in
./.local/share/nvim/mason/registries/github/nvim-java/mason-registry/registry.json
to https://some-own-server/jdtls2.tar.gz

next errors:

try nvim-jdtls instead. I don't think you could get nvim-java working without code changes

[thmudev]

Thank you for your answer.

I'll have to look into nvim-jdtls after all. Instead of using the comfortable lazy vim solution.

As a workaround I have now found a working but possibly less fast solution with proot-distro ubuntu under termux.

There is lazyextra for java. Looks like it's using get_install_path rather than get_shared_path that we are using.
