SAP GUI Error: ... cannot access class sun.awt.AppContext

  • 772

After installing the SAP GUI:

java -jar PlatinGUI740_0-20012039.JAR install

(Which was flawless) I get the following error:

/opt/SAPClients/SAPGUI/bin/guistart conn=/H/172.20.3.13/S/3200
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalAccessError: class com.sap.platin.base.splash.SplashWindow (in unnamed module @0x4f063c0a) cannot access class sun.awt.AppContext (in module java.desktop) because module java.desktop does not export sun.awt to unnamed module @0x4f063c0a

at com.sap.platin.base.splash.SplashWindow.splash(SplashWindow.java:176)

  1. Change the Java version.

    In my case the default version was Oracle-Java-9 Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 9-ea+140, mixed mode)

    I changed it to OpenJDK 8 OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.111-b14, mixed mode)

    By using the command sudo update-alternatives --config java
