Mac version doesn't launch is default java is 9 about lilith HOT 6 CLOSED

I don't know what was it, but it works now

Version 8.1.1 (the latest release version) works for me and uses Java 9 as expected.
Which version of Lilith did you try?

I also just updated the macOS documentation. I didn't realize that macOS Sierra yet again changed the way unsigned applications need to be manually accepted.

Chances are that you still need to jump through those hoops and that this is part of your problem.

8.1.1
I even redownloaded it and tried enabling/disabling signature verification - the problem is the same.
I'm using High Sierra, not Sierra.

Is there a way to change java version it will be using? Or can you create a build that would bundle java with it?

from lilith.

I can't check on High Sierra for now.

Can you try the documentation and see if that helps? Alternatively, you could try building from source and see if that works for you.

Follow the instructions in README.md. This should produce lilith/build/distributions/de.huxhorn.lilith-8.2.0-SNAPSHOT-app.tgz containing Lilith.app. You could also use one of the other Lilith versions, i.e. the ones that aren't wrapped in a .app.

I'll see what I can do regarding bundled Java version. Apple is making it increasingly hard writing software for macOS without paying them $99/year.

A coworker just checked Lilith 8.1.1 with Java 9-GA+181 on High Sierra and it works.
