I’ve tried to get Autopsy working on a MacBook Pro Ventura 13.4.1. I’ve done every step described seen on https://github.com/sleuthkit/autopsy/blob/develop/Running_Linux_OSX.md. Everything (compilings, autopsy self checks ond so on) worked fine.
But by trying to start autopsy i’ve got errors because of a missing Java. No problem, i fixed it in autopsy.conf by adding a line jdkhome=$JAVA_HOME at the end.
Then i tried to start autopsy and i always get an empty gray screen and Java-Errors like the following:

I’ve tried different java-versions (which you can see below copied from my terminal):

Has anybody any ideas what and how to fix?
I’ve tried to work with earlier java-versions too, but then i’ll get other errors like that:

No wonder, Java 1.8 and 11 seems to be to old.
