I guess I managed to solve this (using Java 21):

diff --git a/rcljava_common/CMakeLists.txt b/rcljava_common/CMakeLists.txt

Check your java version like this: java --version It looks like this for me: openjdk 21.0.5 2024-10-15 OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 21.0.5+11-Ubuntu-1ubuntu124.04) OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 21.0.5+11-Ubuntu-1ubuntu124.04, mixed mode, sharing)
