jedit-5.5.0 broken after OS-upgrade to Ubuntu-18.04. 64-bit

Hi all,

after OS-upgrade to Ubuntu-18.04, 64-bit jEdit (now version 5.5.0) seems broken.

~$ update-alternatives --config java
There are 2 choices for the alternative java (providing /usr/bin/java).

  Selection    Path                                            Priority   Status
------------------------------------------------------------

   auto mode
  1            /usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-amd64/bin/java      1101
   manual mode
  2            /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/jre/bin/java   1081
   manual mode



Not sure what to do now.
Any hint is highly appreciated.


Thanks,
  Harm
