Thanks again for your responses.
Duh! What a dope!

Changed the option to:
--add-opens=java.desktop/sun.awt=ALL-UNNAMED

and also:
--add-opens java.desktop/sun.awt=ALL-UNNAMED

Either way, I get:
Unrecognized option: -‐add-opens
Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine.
Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit.

This is ridiculous!
Java 23 specifies --add-opens (see java --help-extra), yet the error says it's unrecognised!
What the hell is going on???
