Not really a bug as such, but rather a heads up.. I updated to version 9 of the java development kit a few days ago (which also includes the runtime environment) and found this morning that the I couldnt bring up magelo to sync. I ended up reinstalling magelo and when that didnt work, I reverted back to version 8 and it now works fine again. I'm certainly not an expert in this but when I googled the error message in the log file : Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: sun.misc.BASE64Decoder it led me to a thread that pointed me to this article: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/faq-sun-packages-142232.html So you might want to amend your Technical requirements on https://eq.magelo.com/magelo_sync.jspa

Let me fix that issue shortly, I guess they have removed the base64decoder package from sun which makes sense. Should be an easy fix.

I speak a little bit too soon, this is a more complicated than I anticipated. it turns out that Java9 will never be mainstream however and only when Java 10 will be GA (Sept 2018) will we really have an issue. I will start working on removing those sun dependencies soon. Thanks for the reminder in any case ! For reference: > https://blog.codefx.org/java/java-9-migration-guide/

The core issue btw is with the new module system which now protect private packages such as sun.* from being accessible from the outside world.
