I'm running Kali Linux and I'm pretty new to this, so any help with downloading necessary libraries would be greatly appreciated

Answer 1

The cause of this error may be that only "headless" part of JDK is installed, which does not include GUI libraries. Try to do sudo apt install openjdk-17-jdk, this should add necessary parts if they are missing.
