Mesquite fail on Linux

[ThibauldMichel]

I am working on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS and want to work with Mesquite 3.81.
https://www.mesquiteproject.org/Installation%20on%20Linux.html

I had several error messages related to the Java version used. The documentation indicated to use a version of Java 8 or above. I have tried with openjdk version 10, 17, and 21, and got typically the error below (with a long trailing of Java errors).

Using Java 8 does not show this error, and instead freeze the software during startup.
