Hi Pablo, Is it possible that your Mac is forcing 32 bit mode on the J application? Your description sounds like something that was happening to me several years ago on an earlier version of MacOS. I found that even though I had a 64-bit Mac it was opening up in 32 bit mode and J would not launch. My sense is that this would not happen with Mojave, but this link suggests that there could be a setting that if it was flipped would open specific applications in 32 bit mode. https://www.mabasoft.net/help/applicationWizard/pgs/customApps/force32BitMode.html
Hope this helps.
