@hamoid in my experience the default java (as managed by archlinux-java) does not work with [opengl sketches](https://discourse.processing.org/t/choice-of-openjdk-is-critical/16141/7). I find I need to unset java to use the alternatives available at [https://adoptopenjdk.net/](https://adoptopenjdk.net/). I have found both OpenJ9 or hotspot versions to work OK.
