Crashing on startup with latest JDK on macos

[akamensky]

Not a Java expert. Installed JDK 12.x from Oracle website and get this on startup:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/xml/bind/JAXB

It looks newer Java versions removed the classes Scelight uses from them, which causes your error.

Right now the only solution is to use an old Java version.

In the future I try to use something else instead of the removed classes.

Having the same issue here. @icza can you please tell me the latest Java SDK version that's confirmed to work fine?

As far as I know, the JAXB API was removed from Java 11, so you should be fine with Java 10. Java 8 is working for sure, Java 9 and Java 10 should be able to run already compiled apps.

I could make the code base Java 11 compatible
