Forge server 14.23.5.2860 wont run

[GoFletchUrself]

I seem to be getting this error while trying to run the forge server.

A problem occurred running the Server launcher.java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException

Running java 8 update 333 (64-bit) and have the jdk 18.0.1.1 (64-bit) installed

Any help appreciated.
