Can’t seem to get the java-overlay installed despite sync. Anyone know why and how I can fix it? I totally refreshed my location files.

Thank you. I failed to look at the error output but even then, I’d still probably not be able to do this. I wish to understand what I’m doing, however, the documentation is not exactly a linear path of knowledge.

Thanks again. Everything works.
