The root cause exception says the JVM can’t initialize java.nio.file.FileSystems$DefaultFileSystemHolder. I can spot no recursion in the entire stack trace.

Maven Central statistics tell me there are more than thousand downloads of TrueZIP components from unique IPs every month, but I have not heard of this problem before nor am I able to reproduce it. Maybe the JDK installation just got corrupted and a simple reinstall would fix it?
The system property java.nio.file.spi.DefaultFileSystemProvider can be 
used to set the default file system provider to be something other than 
the JDK built-in implementation. If TrueZip doesn't support that then 
ignore my comment as I can't think of any other reason why the built-in 
implementation could not initialize.

I would be interested to know if Paths.get("foo") in a simple test on 
this system works. If it doesn't then we might get more from this stack 
trace to help diagnose this issue.
