Hi,

Thank you for your message. Welcome !

Ancestris works with java 1.8. Sorry about that. It comes from the fact that it uses an underlying platform from Oracle which requires java 1.8.

So you will need to download it and "swap" java version, until Oracle / Netbeans releases its next version.

Best regards,
Frederic
