Other JDKs (ms-17, etc.) didn't launch the app or caused errors. I’m still not 100% sure why, so if there’s a technical reason for this preference, it could be good to mention that directly?\n- I also got this warning in IntelliJ:  \n  `\"Duplicate content roots detected\"`  things still worked fine, but it might help to say it's safe to ignore. \n\nWould it make sense to add a small visual guide to `BUILD.md` with these things?\n\n### What I’d love to work on:\n- Add a **Troubleshooting and Setup Tips** section to [`BUILD.md`](https://github.com/processing/processing4/blob/main/BUILD.md)\n- Optionally include **screenshots** of IntelliJ (JDK selection, warning popup, manual run config setup)\n- Maybe even a visual guide that can be launched from the Processing GUI itself? This might become a whole new issue. \n\nLet me know if it would be helpful. \n\nThanks again!\n\ncc @SableRaf , since you recently updated the `BUILD.md`, I figured you might have thoughts on this. Happy to draft something and open a PR if that sounds good.\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/marioguzzzman","@type":"Person","name":"marioguzzzman"},"datePublished":"2025-05-15T09:24:05.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":5},"url":"https://github.com/1095/processing4/issues/1095"}
