Public bug reported:

Seen trying to run the jitsi sip softphone on ubuntu bionic.

The code complains:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchFieldError: preferIPv6Address
        at java.base/java.net.InetAddress.init(Native Method)
        at java.base/java.net.InetAddress.<clinit>(InetAddress.java:337)
        at java.base/java.net.NetworkInterface.init(Native Method)

        at net.java.sip.communicator.launcher.SIPCommunicator.main(SIPCommunicator.java:139)

The jitsi developers observe that this is not an issue with jitsi,
rather with openjdk:

"This particular problem is a bug in Java itself rather than in Jitsi. The native InetAddress code tries to access a field declared in Java, preferIPv6Address.
It's not something we can fix. We're only using documented and supported API here."

And recommend reporting the issue to the distribution.
