org.HSQLDB.jdbcDriver could not be loaded

I get this error when creating a new base.

Just downloaded LO6.1 2 days ago and trying to get this thing to work.

found the answer on another question. JDK v12.0.1 is the problem. Will re-download the v11.0.3 and try again

installed libre base - The driver class 'org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver' could not be loaded.

I was able to figure out the issue. I compared the versions of java on my xubuntu VM with the version on my mac and on the linux VM i had Java jdk 11.0.3. I logged into my oracle account and downloaded the jdk 11.0.3 and installed. update the the advacne tab to select the 11.0.3 version. exited and restarted my mac. opened base and it now works like a champ just like my linux VM. so the java jdk 12.0.1 is the issue. Thanks for you time.
