how to avoid broken string class bug in macos?

Question

I have a scala spark project that I am trying to run on my mac.

When I start the project in sbt I get the following output:

lpuggini-pro13:stackoverflow lpuggini$ sbt 
[residual] arg = '-sbt-create'
[process_args] java_version = '13'
[sbt_options] declare -a sbt_options='()'
[addMemory] arg = '1024'
[addJava] arg = '-Xms1024m'
[addJava] arg = '-Xmx1024m'
[addJava] arg = '-Xss4M'
[addJava] arg = '-XX:ReservedCodeCacheSize=128m'
[copyRt] java9_rt = '/Users/lpuggini/.sbt/0.13/java9-rt-ext-adoptopenjdk_13/rt.jar'
[addJava] arg = '-Dscala.ext.dirs=/Users/lpuggini/.sbt/0.13/java9-rt-ext-adoptopenjdk_13'

with error message error: error while loading String, class file '/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/adoptopenjdk-13.jdk/Contents/Home(java/lang/String.class)' is broken

I think this is later causing a crash in the code

How can I fix it ?
