Hey @SolarUltima,
If you read the manpage on sudo you’ll find that the default policies generally clear a lot of environment variables for security reasons, (this happens automatically) and while you’re building your application and running your java -version check with normal permissions, (without chown/chmod) you’re using sudo java to actually have it in runtime. You may be getting a different PATH and/or JAVA_HOME in the two environments.
See if that doesn’t help, if it doesn’t post back and I’d like to see some more log files.
Thank you,
Montana Mendy
