Here's the problem I encountered and still do when using Java > 8:
```
$ echo $JAVA_HOME
/usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-amd64
$ sdkmanager --version # same Exception for avdmanager and android
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:

$ export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64
$ sdkmanager --version
26.1.1
```
An explanation of the Exception can be found at
[stackoverflow](https://stackoverflow.com/q/46402772/380229). Unfortunately
there seems to be no workaround for Java 11. It might work with later Android
SDK tools. But I don't know what we support exactly.
This issue does not have to block this PR, since users should be able to use
latest JDK if it works for them and the SDKs they are using. But we should
maybe have an idea of what will and what will not work together, so we can
estimate the impact of allowing newer JDK versions and maybe warn users or
catch errors appropriately.
