2.1 Top 5 Active Issues:
We consider active issues to be issues that that have been commented on most frequently within the last week. Bot comments are omitted.
-
SLF4J(W): Class path contains multiple SLF4J providers.: This issue reports a warning about multiple SLF4J logging providers being present on the classpath, specifically when using the JBang distribution of the project, which causes SLF4J to detect both Logback and JUL providers. The user is puzzled because the standard Maven dependency tree does not show Logback as a dependency, yet it appears at runtime with JBang, leading to investigation attempts to understand how Logback is being included and whether all distributions should use the same JAR to avoid this conflict.
- The comments discuss that the problem only occurs with the JBang distribution, which uses a different JAR than other distributions that do not include Logback. Attempts to trace the source of Logback via Maven dependency trees fail to reveal its origin, prompting suggestions to exclude Logback or unify the JARs used across distributions. Further investigation points to Spring Boot’s shaded classes possibly including Logback, but this is inconclusive, and the discussion revolves around understanding JBang’s dependency resolution and how it differs from Maven’s standard resolution.

-
Add more details for installation via jbang: This issue concerns a user new to JBang who is experiencing difficulties installing the Enola app via JBang due to an "Unknown catalog 'enola-dev'" error, indicating that the documentation lacks details on necessary catalog registration steps. The user eventually resolves the problem by manually adding the Enola JBang catalog and then successfully installing the app, highlighting a gap in the installation instructions that could be improved.
- The comments include troubleshooting questions about the user's JBang installation method and version, a confirmation that the Enola JBang distribution was recently introduced, and a suggestion to add the catalog manually as a workaround. The user confirms that adding the catalog explicitly and reinstalling with a fresh flag resolves the issue, demonstrating that the problem stems from missing catalog registration in the documented installation process.
- Number of comments this week: 3
-
NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/hc/client5/http/ssl/TlsSocketStrategy: This issue describes a failure to start the application due to a
NoClassDefFoundErrorfor the classorg/apache/hc/client5/http/ssl/TlsSocketStrategy, which occurs during the creation of a Spring bean related to HTTP client configuration. The error suggests that a required Apache HTTP Components class is missing from the classpath, causing the Spring Boot application context initialization to fail.- The comments discuss a potential fix linked to a pull request that updates the ADK dependency, with one user unable to reproduce the issue on a recent commit without the ADK bump. They suggest that subsequent ADK version bumps in other issues may have resolved the problem and invite the original reporter to verify if the issue persists.
- Number of comments this week: 2
-
Can you add support for Alpaca: This issue requests the addition of support for Alpaca, a tool the user is currently using and would like to integrate with the Enola project. The user suggests that enabling Alpaca compatibility would enhance their experience and potentially benefit other users.
- The comment clarifies that Alpaca functions as a UI for Ollama, which is already supported by Enola, and confirms that this integration has been tested. It also proposes updating the documentation to explicitly mention Alpaca, making it easier for other users to understand and utilize this compatibility.
- Number of comments this week: 1
-
LangChain4j.lambda$toToolSpecifications Tool lacking parameters: com.google.adk.tools.mcp.McpTool: This issue reports an error encountered when using the LangChain4j tool integration with a specific model parameter, resulting in an
IllegalStateExceptionindicating that the tool lacks required parameters. The user highlights that the current documentation and tool support appear limited to certain AI URI specifications and questions whether this limitation is due to the ADK's LangChain4j integration or the model's capability to support tools, suggesting that resolving the exception is a necessary first step.- The comment discusses the error trace and suggests that the problem may stem from limited tool support outside specific AI URI specs, referencing related issues in the ADK project. It questions whether the issue is model-specific or integration-related and proposes fixing the exception before further attempts, inviting input from maintainers familiar with the LangChain4j and ADK tool support.
- Number of comments this week: 1
2.2 Top 5 Stale Issues:
We consider stale issues to be issues that has had no activity within the last 30 days. The team should work together to get these issues resolved and closed as soon as possible.
- Run SpotBugs during build to flag code quality issues: This issue proposes integrating SpotBugs into the build process to automatically detect and flag code quality problems. It references several resources related to SpotBugs and Bazel rules for JVM projects, indicating a focus on improving static analysis during compilation.
- Maven Model: This issue discusses the use of the
pkg:URI scheme for identifying Maven packages, highlighting that while it appears in some contexts, it is not an official IANA standard and conflicts with other uses such as theuri-schemepackage for Node.js. The author suggests creating an Enola-specific URL template for Maven artifacts as a simpler alternative and inquires whether existing standards from the Security (CVE) community or SPDX could be leveraged for this purpose. - Java Model: This issue focuses on enhancing the
./enola -v getcommand to list Java types such as classes and enums from a specified JAR file, and to enable retrieving references for a selected type. Additionally, it suggests using an integration test approach to determine the full path of the JAR file, which could support further functionality as referenced in a related issue. - .owl (and .owl.xml) extension should be recognised as application/owl+xml, and loaded: This issue addresses the problem that files with the .owl and .owl.xml extensions are not being correctly recognized and loaded as having the media type application/owl+xml, but instead default to application/octet-stream. As a result, when attempting to load such files, the system fails to identify any "Things" within them, indicating improper handling of these specific file types during the loading process.
- .rdf (and .rdf.xml) should be loadable (as what?): This issue concerns the inability of the system to properly load files with the extensions .rdf and .rdf.xml, as demonstrated by a failure to detect any "Things" when attempting to load an RDF file. The user reports that despite the file being recognized with the media type application/rdf+xml, the loader does not successfully process the content, indicating a problem with handling these RDF formats.
