Thanks a lot for any help guys, really stumped.

Do you still have an environment variable in Windows set for JAVA_HOME ?
If so, can you try temporarily removing that and trying to launch OpenRefine again ?

Same result

System variables (there was a java home, deleted it)

Thanks for reporting this bug.

Right, I suspect that your Java 16 is still somewhere on your PATH.
Right now it seems we have an small issue with OpenRefine launching and not working correctly with Java 16.
Can you update your PATH and JAVA_HOME so that it using a JAVA version lower than 16?
Then OpenRefine should work.

Also, I've opened a separate issue #4108 for OpenRefine 3.5.1 where I'm seeing that if started with OpenRefine.exe, it does not respect JAVA_HOME any longer, but it does if refine.bat is used to launch.

[P3rCo]

Right,

Java version changed.
My G.

Right, so Java 16 bad, Java 18 ok?

[thadguidry]

@P3rCo I don't know yet what is going on with our 3.5.1 release and Java 16.
I myself have not compiled OpenRefine against Java 18 yet... so no idea, but you are welcome to try.
16 only reached GA on 2021/03/16
17 is expected on 2021/09/14

@thadguidry
Thank you so much for all your help. After deleting jdk 16 from the PATH and changing JAVA_HOME to C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-14.0.2, I was able to run OR. However, when I tried to run it with openrefine.exe, it did not work, but with .bat, it worked. But I got the following output:

Is this an expected behavior? Anyway, I am so happy that it is working now.

@ylan1 Expected (for now)
