[janhun-ec]

Hi, I had similar issues with java 23. I downgraded to java 17, recompiled and reinstalled with mvn, and now it works.

@janhun-ec Thanks, that did the trick. For future readers, a workaround:

sudo brew install openjdk@17
export JAVA_HOME=`/usr/libexec/java_home -v 17`

then run build.sh again

(Worked with the ARM binaries, did not need the arch -x64 trick)
