I tried running this on java11+ and got the error:
Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.IllegalAccessException: class clojure.lang.Reflector cannot access class sun.java2d.SunGraphics2D (in module java.desktop) because module java.desktop does not export sun.java2d to unnamed module @94c5452
Exporting java.desktop/sun.java2d solved the issue for me. This is how I did it:

  1. I'm only used to leiningen projects, so I created a new project from scratch: lein new app ants
  2. In the project.clj file I added this line :jvm-opts ["--add-exports=java.desktop/sun.java2d=ALL-UNNAMED"]
