REW in Linux

[olavsu1]

Hi there,

I am trying REW in latest Linux Mint.

$ uname -a
Linux  4.15.0-47-lowlatency #50-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT Wed Mar 13 12:45:27 UTC 2019 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Some problems are found.

REW isn't innstallable over SUDO. Sudo is needed because installer wants create symlinks.

$>sudo ./REW_linux_5_19.sh       
No suitable Java Virtual Machine could be found on your system.
The version of the JVM must be at least 1.7 and at most 1.8.
Please define INSTALL4J_JAVA_HOME to point to a suitable JVM.

The Oracle Java 8 is dead and not installable (removed from repo's). Here are only this:

$>java -version
openjdk version "11.0.2" 2019-01-15
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 11.0.2+9-Ubuntu-3ubuntu118.04.3)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 11.0.2+9-Ubuntu-3ubuntu118.04.3, mixed mode, sharing)

After exporting "app_java_home" the installer runs correstly. but program don't run.
I get this error message:

Install a Java 8 runtime, such as this.
