Hey,

2.11b4 aso works with Java 7 or 8. No need to change the underlying Java.

...displayed in the entry preview?

I think, you have to reset your preferences as described at "Q: JabRef
does not start" at http://jabref.sourceforge.net/faq.php

Where does it appear like that? In your PDF? At the entry preview in
JabRef? Can you send us a screenshot. Also to my sender's email
adress.

Cheers,
