Dear Philipp,

> I think Jabref has not switched to javaFX yet.

Yes, not yet. The discussion around the new UI is mainly tracked at
https://github.com/JabRef/jabref/issues/113.

With our students team, I think, the work on the new UI will start in
Q2 2016 the earliest.

Do you have a reference for that? I was assuming that there should no
issues there.

The current issue with the OpenJRE seems to be related to the GTK+
look-and-feel. Other look-and-feels work fine - see
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/jabref/+bug/1520294

Try to make it work with both.

You are very welcome. Please also consider taking part at JabCon -
http://jabcon.jabref.org/ :-)

Yes, it looks really nice. We should start a private discussion to
pimp it even more to create a replacement for the old WikiPedia
