JabRef also lists JDK as a dependency, not openjdk. There might be a
reason for this.
If you are really set on contacting the jabref devs, ask if openjdk is
supported by their application. It's very possible that it needs the
official JDK.
One other thing, openjdk7 is a COMPILE time dependency, not runtime
dependency. This means that it needs to be uninstalled after you build
openjdk8, and before you install openjdk8 (for ubuntu users: this is a
step handled by package maintainers, compile deps are hidden from the
user). Don't ask me why the build process for 8 requires 7, it's java.
If you have multiple installs of openjdk on your system, uninstall all
of them and start over. Running multiple java environments is a
non-trivial task, and chances are you have no way of knowing with
version JabRef is trying to use.
Again, if you leave openjdk7 installed when you install openjdk8, you
will probably end up breaking it again.

Tomas,
However, for whatever the reason the Slackbuilds.org openjdk8 requires
openjdk7.
Given that the current openJdk version is 11, it looks like somewhat
misconfigured system.
JabRef requires jdk8; I have openjdk11 installed, too.
What is SBo? Have never heard of it. Something do do with Java...?
SBo <https://www.slackbuilds.org/> is the source of many non-core
packages
for Slackware. It exists by dozens of folks around the world who
contribute
their time to maintaining packages in the Slackware format (.tgz and
.txz)
that don't come on the distribution DVDs. Think of it as the
equivalent of
the .deb and .rpm repos for distributions that use those package formats.
