On newer Macs, Deducer does not seem to work with the latest CRAN release of R 4.0 due to a java issue, JGR 1.8-7 incompatibility with Oracle JDK"s higher than 8.
The problem is fixed by downloading the latest version of JGR 1.9-1 from GitHub.
Many thanks to the developer Markus Helbig for making this update available.
Deducer is then just running ok.
A working combination is
macOs 10.15.4 (Catalina), Xcode 11.4.1, Oracle Java JDK 11.0.2, R 4.0, rJava 0.9-12, JavaGD 0.6-1.1, JGR 1.9-1, Deducer 0.7-9.
