installation - Failing to install a java program (`VDJtools`)

Question

I have a super basic question related to a specific program vdjtools. So, basically, it seems it uses a deprecated java and when I try to install it, I simply can't make it work.

I tried to follow what is written there (https://vdjtools-doc.readthedocs.io/en/master/install.html): "download the JRE from Oracle. Then download and unpack the VDJtools binaries from the latest release."

My have version is the latest, so it should be working unless it is java version-specific.

$java --version
java version "14.0.1" 2020-04-14
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 14.0.1+7)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 14.0.1+7, mixed mode, sharing)

After downloading the zip file and trying to run the program, I get the following error:

$java -jar vdjtools-1.2.1.jar

I would be glad if someone could help me, I just want to be able to install this 'vdjtools' to test it. There's also a video teaching how to install (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LBhfsSRy950), but there there's no error when they run the .jar file on that video.
