I am trying to run my application in an ec2 instance using the command
nohup java --enable-preview my-application.jar
But somehow the --enable-preview flag is ignored and i still get an error on startup telling me that i should try running it with the flag --enable-preview. I use amazon's corretto-17 as the openJDK version.
Does corretto-17 not support the --enable-preview flag? The jar file runs fine when i run it in Intellij IDEA with --enable-preview. I've also added this flag as a compile argument to my pom.xml.
The problem was caused by nohup. Apparently java arguments are ignored when you execute the jar file while also using the supplemental command nohup.
