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 this error:
java.lang.StackOverflowError
Mesquite v. 3.81.955 on 10

java.desktop/javax.swing.plaf.basic.BasicTextUI$RootView.setSize(BasicTextUI.java:1815)
Using Java 8 does not show this error, and instead freeze the software during startup.
Does anyone have found a way around it? Or anyone has a solution to run Mesquite in a cloud online? Any proposition is welcome.

Other versions of Java above 8 and Java 8 from other repositories did not work. However, using specifically jdk-8u202-linux-x64.tar.gz from the Oracle Java archive with Mesquite_3.81_Linux is eventually working well.
Thank you @Darked89 , I have to admit I do not understand fully your answer. I am running Ubuntu on my local machine as mentioned above, so I am not sure that the SSH link is requested.
As mentioned in my question, Java 8 has been tried, and unfortunately it freezes Mesquite at the start.

PS: Or even alternative softwares, any suggestion is appreciated.
