The error message suggests you may not be using Java8.

Hello Elin, that looks like it might be Java JRE. The JSW requires a Java JDK.

Can you run ‘java -version’ in your terminal to confirm was version your system is using?
If you are indeed using a JRE, can you please try and install the JDK and set this as your default java version and try again.

I have do done as you suggested

C:\WINDOWS\system32>java -version
java version “1.8.0_202”
Java™ SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_202-b08)
Java HotSpot™ 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.202-b08, mixed mode)

I have installed the:

C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_202

on my nexus-2.14.15-01 folder log i get the following while trying to run the nexus service

jvm 1 | 2023-02-28 13:54:25,095+0200 ERROR [WrapperListener_start_runner] org.sonatype.nexus.bootstrap.jsw.JswLauncher - Failed to start

The error still suggests that a java version 11 is used.

The jax support was removed in java 11.

Is there a java 11 (or higher) installation present on the system?

Maybe there is a JAVA_HOME variable set? Or an alternative java path in the Nexus startup script?
