Both scilab 5.5.2 & 6.0 stopped working on Linux 64 bits (Ubuntu 16.04.3) - java issue
Reported by Antoine Monmayrant
BUG DESCRIPTION:
----------------
Scilab crashes at startup for both 5.5.2 & 6.0, complaining about Java & OpenGL issues.
Both were working fine two days ago.
Now, only scilab-cli works.
Seems identical to this debian bug: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=880924#5
ERROR LOG:
----------

Scilab cannot create Scilab Java Main-Class (we have not been able to find the main Scilab class. Check if the Scilab and thirdparty packages are available).
HOW TO REPRODUCE THE BUG:
-------------------------
Just start any scilab exe that uses java features.
