I have multiple JDKs installed, I get the same error for all of them -

Occurs for me as well on Catalina 10.15.5 SourceTrail version 2020.2.43 - 64 bit Database Version 25

I dug a little into the what the code was doing and based on the error message, it seems to occur when it first tries to load the JNI_CreateJavaVM() function using a dlopen() on libjli.dylib https://github.com/CoatiSoftware/Sourcetrail/blob/2020.2.43/src/lib/utility/utilityLibrary.h#L70-L75

I don't have my machine setup to actually debug but I'd be very interested to see what dlerror() returns within that if(handle == nullptr) {} block

Still problem with Sourcetrail version 2020.4.35 I am running macOS BigSur version 11.2 (build 20D64) and latest OpenJDK version 15:

$ java -version
openjdk version "15.0.2" 2021-01-19
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 15.0.2+7-27)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 15.0.2+7-27, mixed mode, sharing)

I guess SourceTrail should be built with this option to be true:
