Trying to install Sprint Tools 4 on my mac. Install goes ok, but when I try to open the app I get error messages:

"openjdk-11.0.2.jdk" cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified.
macOS cannot verify that this app is free from malware.

Homebrew Cask downloaded this file on 6 February 2019 from jdk.java.net.

and then

macOS cannot verify that this app is free from malware.

Homebrew Cask downloaded this file on 6 February 2019 from jdk.java.net.

Not sure what to do now? Update? Replace with something different? Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks

  1. Go to System Preferences, and open Security & Privacy.

  2. In the General Tab, under Allow apps downloaded from, you should see the app you’ve been trying to open – click on the Open Anyway button to its right.

  3. You will once again see a warning message that tells you the app cannot be verified as safe, but this time you will have the option to open it anyway. If you are certain you want to execute the app, click on Open.

Once you do that, you will no longer get the “MacOS cannot verify that this app is free from malware” warning whenever you try to open this particular program, as it will now be added to the exceptions list.

  • This is doable. However be careful from bad sites. Use usually official site : https://spring.io/tools – Katy Jul 06 '20 at 15:19

    As an additional comment, the official distribution of Spring Tools 4 for Eclipse for macOS that you download from https://spring.io/tools is signed and notarized and will not cause the above mentioned message to appear. – Martin Lippert Jul 07 '20 at 06:23
  • Ehh.. no offence now.. but I did download it from spring.io/tools and it did cause the messages I showed above. The messages were removed by following the steps in M.Mas's answer. – Vida Jul 07 '20 at 09:16
  • Perhaps it needs re-signing/notarizing for Catalina 10.15.5 ?? – Vida Jul 07 '20 at 15:11
