Hi @Stac_Flo

Maybe try:

If you try to use:

sudo update-alternatives --config java

You will only see Java 17 in a fresh ParrotOS installation.

Found how to fix this problem:

You will need to install OpenJDK-11-source:

sudo apt install openjdk-11-source

After this you can select Java 11 and run neo4j.

I can confirm this will not affect your usage of Burpsuite either cause this too uses JRE.
