nxmc with Java 11

[troffasky]

Is nxmc with Java 11 supposed to work? Ubuntu 18.10 comes with Java 11 by default and nxmc doesn't seem to like it.
From the end of a ~2500-line log:

!ENTRY org.eclipse.osgi 4 0 2019-03-01 17:32:42.819

I can install Java 8 but then Davmail won't run, which leaves me with an uncomfortable choice between email and NetXMS!

Ahh never mind, fix was easy enough in the end.
Wrapper script with:

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/
export PATH=/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/bin/:$PATH
~/downloads/netxms/nxmc/nxmc

I had tried something similar and it wasn't working, because of a typo in the path.

Hi,

you can also create symbolic link named "jre" within "nxmc" directory pointing to JRE 8 - nxmc will pick up that JRE then.

Best regards,
