I got a new MacBook Air that runs Big Sur OS. I can't seem to get SS to work on it. I did everything I did on my old MacBook, including allowing the software to be installed. I also had to install Rosetta for Java, which at least got Java to start. The Java error I'm getting is:

Groovy error !
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: groovy/lang/GroovyShell

os.name : Mac OS X
os.arch : x86_64
java.version : 1.8.0_271
file.encoding : UTF-8
language : en_US

Anyone have any ideas?

I suspect it is a mismatch of the operating system, given that Big Sur is version 11 of the MacOS, while that error appears to be thinking it is OS X.
