Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine.
Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit.

Also, there is no official Processing 3.4.1 available. The latest one is 3.3.7. How come 3.4.1 exists here?

See https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/5649

Sorry about the summary. I don't seem to have permission to edit it.

Version 3.4 downloaded directly from processing.org starts fine. Also, I did try rebooting and it did not help.

Please ignore my comment about 3.3.7 being the last one, it's actually 3.4.

After running

sudo archlinux-java set java-8-openjdk


it launches correctly, while it fails to run with java-10-openjdk.
