I'm trying to run SQuirreL on Ubuntu 18.04 but I'm not able to make it launch.
When I run
~/squirrel-sql-3.8.1/squirrel-sql.sh
Nothing happens. I don't understand the sh script very well. I tried just running:
java -cp squirrel-sql.jar:~/squirrel/sql-3.8.1/lib* -splash:~/squirrel-sql-3.8.1/icons/splash.jpg net.sourceforge.squirrel_sql.client.Main --squirrel-home "~/squirrel-sql-3.8.1"
But it then says
java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no splashscreen in java.library.path
at (ClassLoader.java:2541)
at (Runtime.java:873)
at (System.java:1857)

My Java version:
openjdk version 9-Ubuntu
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 9-Ubuntu+0-9b181-4)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 9-Ubuntu=0-9b181-4, mixed mode)
Any ideas?

Sorted out.
I upgraded to Java 10 via:
sudo apt-get install openjdk-11-jre openjdk-11-jdk
Now Java version reads:
openjdk version "10.0.1" 2018-04-17
OpenJDK Runtime Enviornment (build 10.0.1+10-Ubuntu-3ubuntu1)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server (buidl 10.0.1+10-Ubuntu-3ubuntu1, mixed mode)
And now the application launches.
Below is the error i got when i tried to run squirrel-sql.sh. I had installed headless jdk hich as causing the issue.
Error :
sourabh@phoenix:~/squirrel-sql-4.1.0-standard$ ./squirrel-sql.sh

...........
Uninstall Headless Java JDK :
sourabh@phoenix:~/squirrel-sql-4.1.0-standard$ sudo apt-get remove openjdk-8-jre-headless
Install Java JDL :
sourabh@phoenix:~/squirrel-sql-4.1.0-standard$ sudo apt-get install openjdk-8
