Bug report ----------

Please include a description about what actions you were performing when the exception occurred: I just downloaded the OpenRocket software and tried to open it.


Include your email address (optional; it helps if we can contact you in case we need additional information): matt.lohens@gmail.com


(Do not modify anything below this line.)


Exception stack trace ----------

java.lang.RuntimeException: Error starting OpenRocket don't need the stack trace



System information ----------

OpenRocket version: 15.03 this shows you're running OpenRocket 15.03

 java.home=/usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-amd64

this shows you're running Java 11



End of bug report ----------

OpenRocket 15.03 does not run on versions of Java more recent than Java 8. The most straightforward workaround until the new release is available is to use one of the packaged installers for Windows or MacOS, or the Linux appimage, at https://github.com/openrocket/openrocket/releases/tag/release-15.03
