Unable to run jar files on Monterey Hi! I'm unable to run my jar files on macOS Monterey after updating from Catalina. I'm displayed "Java Application Launch Failed Check Console for possible error messages related to path to jar file" I have the following java configuration on my system: java version "11.0.13" 2021-10-19 LTS Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 18.9 (build 11.0.13+10-LTS-370) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 18.9 (build 11.0.13+10-LTS-370, mixed mode) When I run the file from Terminal, I'm displayed the following error: Error: Could not find or load main class

Java app does not start on m2 When I start eXist-db.app which is Java dependent, macOS claims it cannot start because I don't have Java 8 or higher on my machine. In Terminal.app I can confirm I do by running java -version, echo $JAVA_HOME etc. Also, running eXist-db.app/Contents/Resources/bin/startup.sh works just fine. Tried with temurin8 and openjdk, but I don't think the exact version of Java really matters. Before on my Intel MBP this was never an issue. Why does macOS claim an issue with Java that is plain and simple incorrect? What makes it think Java is not installed? More importantly: how do I fix this?

Thanks for participating in Apple Support Communities. We understand that you're having an issue installing SAP GUI for Mac with a Java alert appearing. Were you able to review the installation guide to see if there was information on this alert?
