jMAVsim fails with Java 11 about jmavsim HOT 9 CLOSED

I assume you upgraded java version.
In case you have openjdk 11 (java --version), I would downgrade to 10 or 9. There was already a fix for 9/10, but not for 11 (cb2d130).

To downgrade your version:

• download jdk-10 from here
• unzip

tar xzvf openjdk-10_linux-x64_bin.tar.gz

• move jdk-10 to install directory and update version to 10.

sudo mkdir -p /usr/lib/jvm/java-10-openjdk-amd64/
sudo mv jdk-10 /usr/lib/jvm/java-10-openjdk-amd64/
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/java java /usr/lib/jvm/java-10-openjdk-amd64/jdk-10/bin/java 1
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/javac javac /usr/lib/jvm/java-10-openjdk-amd64/jdk-10/bin/javac 1
sudo update-alternatives --config java

• remove jmavsim build folder

rm -rf <path-to-px4>/Tools/jMAVSim/out

Now you should have your GUI back.

NOTE: this is just a workaround and not a fix.

For Ubuntu, you can fall back to Java 8 quite easily:

sudo apt install openjdk-8-jdk
sudo update-alternatives --config java # choose 8
rm -rf Tools/jMAVSim/out

from jmavsim.

Thanks for adding that, also see: PX4/PX4-Autopilot#9557 (comment)

This solution works for me finally, but there is another issue as follow:
