If anyone else lands here from Google: Using Java 7 resolved this error for me. I created an Oracle account and downloaded it from their archive
Im trying to run mauve on my system but somehow can't seem to make it work
I installed mauve , using sudo apt install mauve-aligner
But when i run it I get following error
mauve

2) I then downloaded mauve and tried to run the mauve.jar file, but again I get a following error
java -jar Mauve.jar

I have checked java ,
java -version
openjdk version "11.0.11" 2021-04-20
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 11.0.11+9-Ubuntu-0ubuntu2.20.04)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 11.0.11+9-Ubuntu-0ubuntu2.20.04, mixed mode, sharing)
I cant seem to figure out whats wrong in execution of the programm, I will be thankful If someone can suggest a possible solution

I managed to fix this same error. As far as I can tell, it comes from Mauve not running wsell with Java 10+ versions.
I used
$ locate java | grep java$ | grep -w bin
to find a version of java that was sufficiently outdated to work with Mauve. I foudn a 7.0 version in a different users files.
I then manually edited the Mauve file in my Mauve install, and changed the JAVA_CMD=java to JAVA_CMD=path/to/older/version/java
I hope this helps!

mauveinstall instructions recommend using the binary they provide (LINK). Can you try that? If that does not work then you may have to try building from source (LINK).
