I have just installed the new STM32CubeProgrammer for Linux but it won't run. I see the error 'Error: Could not find or load main class com.st.app.Main'. Anyone else come across this problem that has a fix?

I went with all the defaults except I changed the install path from '/home/david/STMicroelectronics/STM32Cube/STM32CubeProgrammer' to '/home/david/bin/STMicroelectronics/STM32Cube/STM32CubeProgrammer'. I did not notice an option for a shared install, or else I would have chosen that.

Thanks Bogdan, found the answer there. For me it was because I am using OpenJDK and the fix was simply:

sudo apt-get install openjfx

It seems that this thread deals with the same issue:

Frankly I have not used the STM32CubeProgrammer yet. Waiting for more mature releases;)

It's worked pretty well for me except (under Ubuntu) the 'File path' Browse button quit working and editing 'File path' directly has gotten weird. Works fine in Windows but that's Java for you.

I've just removed Oracle Java from my workstation and cannot run STM32Cube Programmer with Openjdk

I get this return when running through terminal:

~/opt/STM32CubeProgrammer/bin$ ./STM32CubeProgrammer
/home/user/opt/STM32CubeProgrammer/bin/STM32CubeProgrammerLauncher
/home/user/opt/STM32CubeProgrammer/bin
JavaFX NOT installed => warn user

And a pop up screen saying that i must install openjfx

I've already installed openjfx and it didn't fix the situation.

~/opt/STM32CubeProgrammer/bin$ java -version
