It is created if you change some settings in the app. Not sure that it gets created by default, because if you do not change any setting, the application config file is enough.
Regarding the jave path you indicate (/Users/gprovost/.sdkman/candidates/java/current), are you sure it corresponds to a java path ? Because sometimes the bin is necessary, sometimes it should end with java only...
If you comment out the jdk_home variable (# at the beggining of the line) in both config files (user one and app one), does Ancestris find the default java version (the one you get when you type java -version on the console)? Because it should.
If it does, then it is just a question of forcing Ancestris to take another one with the jdk_home variable.
