Clover registry file does not exist

[Tony Obermeit]

Error is

Clover registry file "/Users/tobermei/Downloads/clover-ant-4.4.1/tutorial/build/clover/db/clover.db" does not exist, cannot be read or is a directory. Please ensure Clover has instrumented your source files.

I have this same problem with a new build I'm creating so I went to the document

https://openclover.org/doc/manual/4.3.0/ant--tutorial-part-0-clover-in-10-minutes.html

I've had the same problem using OpenClover within a new ant build script, so to prove the problem wasn't with my script, I downloaded the latest OpenClover quick tutorial and built it using their maven script, same error (details above)

Also researched the open clover faq, it said to check that clean was done first and that was the case in my ant build.

Any redirection as to where to get the solution would be appreciated, I've emailed openclover support and posted question first on stack overflow and so far no response.

I heard back from OpenClover, apparently JDK17 is not supported.  Still having troubles with jdk 1.8/1.9 (supported versions) and will update when I solve that.
