Public bug reported:
On askubuntu.com, user asks about jabref error. On 18.10, jabref wont'
start due to missing java modules. I answered that java 8 is required:
https://askubuntu.com/a/1085678/495717. When java 11 is installed at
same time, jabref won't start.
In my checking, one must actually remove java 11. I tried setting the
preferred java version with "sudo update-alternatives --config java" is
not sufficient, one must actually delete the newer java packages in
order for jabref to start. If I set the preferred version, then jabref
never appears on screen.

I've downloaded the newest Jabref package, can't launch it either if
java 11 is installed.
$ java -jar JabRef-4.3.1.jar
Error: Could not find or load main class org.jabref.JabRefMain
I wonder if the version of java could be specified differently in the
Ubuntu wrapping to solve this.
