HyperLedger Fabric network Chaincode instantiate error

Question

I am doing the fabcar tutorial from the hyperledger fabric website, which walks you through building your first application: https://hyperledger-fabric.readthedocs.io/en/release-1.4/write_first_app.html . There are 3 implementations of the smart contract , in Java, Javascript and TypeScript. When I run the javascript version, everything works fine. However I want to run the Java version but when I build the script I get the following error:

Error: could not assemble transaction, err proposal response was not successful, error code 500, msg chaincode registration failed: container exited with 1

Could this be an issue with the my version of java (13) or is it something else?

here are more of the logs, everything seems to work until this final step.

Update The docker logs of peer0.org1.example.com at the point of failure:

If you've already run through the tutorial with the Javascript version (as you mentioned above), you must first bring down the existing network and remove any active containers.

./byfn.sh down
docker rm -f $(docker ps -aq)
docker rmi -f $(docker images | grep fabcar | awk '{print $3}')

Now run the startup script with Java version using ./startFabric.sh java
