Hi,

trying to use the JOptionpane in Processing and get following message:

java.lang.reflect.InaccessibleObjectException: Unable to make public abstract javax.swing.TransferHandler javax.swing.TransferHandler$HasGetTransferHandler.getTransferHandler() accessible: module java.desktop does not “opens javax.swing” to unnamed module @256216b3

Anyone knows how to fix this?

May we see the source code that generates this error message?

Sure, this is the code:
