There is a wrong regex for parsing the java version. There are also already 3 pull requests to fix it, but the maintainers are too lazy to merge it.

[zachsamuels]

I am having this same issue, please fix it.

[rkwojdan]

We had the same problem and uninstalling java 10 and next installing java 8 solved the issue. Hope it will you, as well.

[pratik1998]

Error arises due to wrong version of openjdk. I installed oracle java 8 by following instructions from this. Now everything works fine.

[kallewesterling]

Same error happening now. I just encountered it through the py-contractions package that relies on language-check. (See issue here.)

same issue here. We getting this fixed soon ?

[Bachstelze]

Try to install it from this source. There isn't yet a version on pip with this bug fix.

[KorayTugberk-g]

I still can't download this package....

Hi,
How you use language tool in Google Cloud Function? I'm trying to deploy in GCP Cloud Function with runtime Python 3.7. I could use the library using my local virtual environment where I have java installed. But when I'm trying to deploy it in Cloud Function.. I'm getting the following error message --

Function failed on loading user code. Error message: Code in file main.py can't be loaded. Did you list all required modules in requirements.txt? Detailed stack trace: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/env/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/google/cloud/functions/worker_v2.py", line 359, in check_or_load_user_function _function_handler.load_user_function() File "/env/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/google/cloud/functions/worker_v2.py", line 236, in load_user_function spec.loader.exec_module(main_module) File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap_external>", line 728, in exec_module File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 219, in _call_with_frames_removed File "/user_code/main.py", line 10, in <module> from libraries.unknown_word import word_meaning File "/user_code/libraries/unknown_word.py", line 18, in <module> tool = language_tool_python.LanguageTool('en-IN') File "/env/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/language_tool_python/server.py", line 46, in __init__ self._start_server_on_free_port() File "/env/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/language_tool_python/server.py", line 183, in _start_server_on_free_port self._start_local_server() File "/env/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/language_tool_python/server.py", line 193, in _start_local_server download_lt() File "/env/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/language_tool_python/download_lt.py", line 144, in download_lt confirm_java_compatibility() File "/env/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/language_tool_python/download_lt.py", line 75, in confirm_java_compatibility raise ModuleNotFoundError('No java install detected.

Can you please provide a solution to use LanguageTool from server less functions? How can we have java environment in Cloud Function along with Python 3.7?

BR.

Any progress on this?

[willnaoosmith]

Same here

[katkaypettitt]

I am also having this issue, except I have java 15.0.1 installed. Would be nice to see an update.

[WarleiAlves]

I suggest you try to install version 6 or 8 of the JDK. I've already figured out how to install with JDK 11, but after that the package doesn't work, throwing the following exception in Java:

language_check.Error: Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/xml/bind/JAXBException

I found that the error is caused by some changes in the java libraries after version 8.

[TejaswitaW]

I tried with 6,7,8 of the jdk, but still getting same error.

still same issue in 2025
