issues starting openrefine 2.8 on mint 19 (java-11-openjdk)

[Gorav Seth]

upgraded to mint19 last week, which apparenly comes w java 11, and could not get openrefine 2.8 to start up.

when running ./refine from terminal, i get the 'you need java' error, though as far as i can tell i have openjdk 11 on my system

i updated my settings using the info on this stackoverflow post https://stackoverflow.com/a/24641640/3596313 as echo $JAVA_HOME was displaying nothing, and now i believe its working properly...

$ echo $JAVA_HOME

/usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-amd64

$ which java

/usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-amd64/bin/java

still, 2.8 would not load.  same 'you need java' error.

so i downloaded 3.0 rc1

the script starts running, and then displays  an exception re: assistive technology and stops (and browser doesnt open automatically),  but if i manually point at 127.0.0.1:3333, refine starts up fine.

the exception i get in this case is:

... 20 more

so....any thoughts? 

- should refine 2.8 work w open jdk 11?  or should i install an older version of java?

- whats up w/ 3.0?

thanks!

This is something new with Java 11 that has recently caused some issues.

For the workaround, please see our Issue # 1714  https://github.com/OpenRefine/OpenRefine/issues/1714

Thanks Thad

Workaround works perfectly well for 3.0.

I assume that 2.8 is not compatible with java 11?
