64 bit VMware Workstation 14.1.1 build-7528167 machine, Kubuntu 16 with Oracle JDK 9 has
mysteriously gone astray. The same result can be seen in Kubuntu 17.10 with the default Java.

This one has an empty canvas...

And the second one does not launch.

And in the real-mode Kubuntu 16, both applications work well.

Julien, jconsole typically prints out that long list of VM arguments. The JNLP file contains just a few that you've suggested.
