Exception after clicking "journal PDF" in JabRef 2.10 #8
Description
I'm using LocalCopy 2.6 with JabRef 2.10. I imported a bibtex files with some DOIs and I clicked "journal PDF" after selecting one of them. The dialog hangs forever and I see:
LocalCopy: updated to version 1.5
Exception in thread "Thread-6" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: net.sf.jabref.labelPattern.LabelPatternUtil.makeLabel(Lnet/sf/jabref/labelPattern/LabelPattern;Lnet/sf/jabref/BibtexDatabase;Lnet/sf/jabref/BibtexEntry;)Lnet/sf/jabref/BibtexEntry;

I can't tell whether this is the same as some other reports here; the versions seem different.

I am just curious, do you know that JabRef has several full text fetchers integrated since Version 3?
You could check out the version 4. As 2.10 is a very very old version

Thanks for your question: no, I did not know. I'm new to JabRef, I just found http://www.lhnr.de/ext/localcopy/ because it was one of the top ~20 results for "DOI PDF download" or a similar search.
2.10 is just what I found in the fedora repositories for a quick test, I'll try a more recent version as you suggested.

Ok, found: https://help.jabref.org/en/#-using-online-bibliographic-database
Not quite what I had in mind, but seems to serve a portion of my needs. If this plugin was supposed to have the same scope and the exception is not relevant, feel free to close. :-)

In the new 4.0 version, you have a download button next to the DOI field that lets you fetch fulltext files (similar for other identifiers, e.g arXiv id).

I cannot test 4, it seems to require Oracle Java per https://help.jabref.org/en/Installation . 3.8.2 fetches some stuff from IOP, Springer an arXiv but seems to fail anything else.

@nemobis Openjdk 8 + openjfx should also work:
