Title:
  Missing field preferIPv6Address in openjdk 10 code

Status in openjdk-lts package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  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)

  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.
