No old versions, but have you made sure to download and install the full java jdk and not the jre. The jre package never updates the path propetly. On macOS only the full jdk does that.

You might want to try that.

I can't get this plugin to do what it's supposed to. Since updating the plugin, it does not show errors or warnings, even when I create epubs that shouldn't validate -- tags not closing, ids beginning with a digit, intra-book references that don't arrive at their destinations.

I even upgraded Sigil to its latest version to see whether that would have a better effect. But alas.

Perhaps it has something to do with my Mac running java version 1.7.0.67, whereas the OP states version 1.8 or higher is required. I have downloaded and installed version 8(?) but that does not seem to matter to my terminal's java, which stubbornly insists that it is still on 1.7.yadayada.

It's not the epubcheck jar that is giving me this headache, as I have tried multiple versions:
ePubCheck 3.0.1
ePubCheck 4.0.2
ePubCheck 4.1.0
ePubCheck 4.1.1

Well you get the picture.

I was completely fine with the old version of the plugin I used, which tried to update itself occasionally but always failed miserably, bless its heart. I could just get the epubcheck jar and lib folder updated from time to time, and not worry about the plugin itself.

Which leads me to my question, does anyone happen to have a plugin version 3.x somewhere lying around?
