Public bug reported:
In 18.10, the openjfx package now provides a version that is for use
with the newly released Java 11. However, this openjfx package is
incompatible with the still available openjdk-8-{jdk,jre} packages. The
current reality is that many Java applications are not yet compatible
with the Java module system, which is mandatory in Java 11. Due to this,
it is currently impossible to run JavaFX applications (like JabRef in my
case) which are not yet compatible with Java 11, unless I install
Oracle's JDK 8 from external sources.
Would it be possible to supply an openjfx-8 package, similar to the
openjdk-{8,11}-{jdk,jre}?
The version of openjfx is: 11+26-4
Version of Ubuntu is a fresh (not upgraded) install of 18.10.
