BeakerX 1.4.1 from conda-forge forced to use openjdk 8.0.121?

[jechterhoff]

Hello.

I've installed Anaconda, and no matter whether I'm installing beakerx 1.4.1 (together with jupyter) into a Python 3.9 environment using the Anaconda navigator, or whether I'm using the conda commands conda config --env --add pinned_packages 'openjdk>8.0.121' conda install -y -c conda-forge ipywidgets beakerx and conda install -y -c conda-forge ipywidgets beakerx, I end up with a setup where beakerx 1.4.1 appears to be fixed to using openjdk version 8.0.121. So I cannot use jdk 11, for example.

In the conda-meta folder, file beakerx-1.4.1-py39hcbf5309_7.json, the following is stated:

  "depends": [
    "ipywidgets >=7.0",
    "maven",
    "notebook >=5.7.4",
    "numpy",
    "openjdk 8.0.121",
    "pandas",
    "py4j",
    "pytest",
    "python >=3.9,<3.10.0a0",
    "python_abi 3.9.* *_cp39",
    "requests",
    "widgetsnbextension"
  ],

Is there a reason for the fixed - and quite old - openjdk version? If not, how can this be solved?

If you install using conda install -c beakerx beakerx_all you can use openjdk-17 and a lower version of openjdk as well.

I am on a mac m1. I am trying to install using

conda install -c beakerx beakerx_all

I'm getting the error:

PackagesNotFoundError: The following packages are not available from current channels:

  - beakerx_all

Current channels:

  - https://conda.anaconda.org/beakerx/osx-arm64
  - https://conda.anaconda.org/beakerx/noarch
  - https://conda.anaconda.org/conda-forge/osx-arm64
  - https://conda.anaconda.org/conda-forge/noarch

Is M1 unsupported?
