Anonimatron will try to autodetect drivers which are
stored in the lib directory. Add you driver there.

Additional context

I followed documentation instructions, but since I'm new to Java I suppose I have to install something else but I don't know what.

Hello Jawira, you did everything right. Thanks for reporting this. It looks like Anonimatron is running into a security feature of Java 9 and higher, the error message points to a missing export. I'll have to look into why that happens and how I can solve it, I guess more people must be running into this.

Do you by any chance have an option to install an older version of Java? (both Oracle and OpenJDK should work).

After reading your answer I realized I forgot to tell you I'm using Ubuntu on a "Windows WSL2" environment.

Anyway, I downgraded to OpenJDK 8 and now I'm able to see demo config file. Thank you 👍
