Yup, there seem to be some runtime incompatibilitites with the new
libjgoodies-*, which were not caught at buildtime. Cf. also the
thread starting at
https://lists.debian.org/debian-java/2016/12/msg00010.html

Probably we'll try with rebuilding the affected packages; for JabRef
the good news is that we're working on updating to 3.6 which doesn't
have these problems (but needs some wrinkles ironed out before we can
upload it).
 
Cheers,
