Slightly off topic:
I am using Jabref for my lyx work (debian). The version I use (2.10)
does not support the medline any more.
I apparently need Java 8 for it -JRE or JDK are offered, which should
go in /opt. Which one is recommendable? None is given in synaptic.
And how do I unpack the JRE or JDK into /opt? Do I extract it first
on my home/download and copy the folder as root into it?
How do I install jabref-3.7? Unpacking it gives me a lot of
folders/files, but I can't find a help.

A long discussion is in the following, but it is beyond me:

Wolfgang,
You might want to look at
https://launchpad.net/~webupd8team/+archive/ubuntu/java
<https://launchpad.net/%7Ewebupd8team/+archive/ubuntu/java>. If you
add their PPA to Synaptic and install their package (which is an
updater, not Java itself), it will install Java 8. Moreover, as new
versions of Java appear, their package will show up in your usual
updates and, when you update it, will automatically install the latest
Java. It also takes care of various configuration nonsense, such as
setting the latest Java as the preferred version, that otherwise can
be a PITA.
Cheers,
Paul
Thanks, Paul, for the pointer. I have run the script but at the end I
was asked whether I would like to continue: [J/n] y
I tried j (ja in German), J, y and just return > in all cases I get an
abortion:
