Hi for all.

I am trying to use GenealogyJ and

genj.erro.txt. The installinformation
file is also here. The try was maded under
a slackware 14.2 and java oracle 13.0.2.
The uname -a output is:

Here more information.

It looks like this is an issue with how GenJ used a non official Java feature for loading services (a registry of capabilities).

As per Java 9 documentation

There is an incompatible change in this area in JDK 9. From the JDK 9 release notes:

Since Java SE 1.4, javax.imageio.spi.ServiceRegistry provided a facility roughly equivalent to the Java SE 1.6 java.util.ServiceLoader. This image i/o facility is now restricted to supporting SPIs defined as part of javax.imageio. Applications that use it for other purposes need to be re-coded to use ServiceLoader.

We have work to move to ServiceLoader I think, have to check.

Meanwhile, I would try Java 8.

WARNING:System.err:Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: genj.option.OptionProvider is not an ImageIO SPI class
WARNING:System.err:at java.desktop/javax.imageio.spi.ServiceRegistry.checkClassAllowed(ServiceRegistry.java:722)

Oh, I see jeffnik@ fixed that 22/09/18 - will try to create a build that includes latest changes by tkalliom@. That should then run on your system. Should be possible by eow.
