Bug#1022956: jmeter: fails to start: Unable to make field private static java.lang.String sun.awt.X11.XToolkit.awtAppClassName accessible: module java.desktop does not "opens sun.awt.X11" to unnamed module @2f410acf

jmeter fails to start:

  $ jmeter
  An error occurred: Unable to make field private static java.lang.String sun.awt.X11.XToolkit.awtAppClassName accessible: module java.desktop does not "opens sun.awt.X11" to unnamed module @2f410acf

There is a workaround:

  JAVA_ARGS="--add-opens java.desktop/sun.awt=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens=java.desktop/sun.awt.shell=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens=java.desktop/sun.awt.X11=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens java.desktop/sun.swing=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens java.desktop/javax.swing.text.html=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens=java.base/java.lang=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens=java.base/java.lang.invoke=ALL-UNNAMED" jmeter

I took these options from <https://github.com/apache/jmeter/issues/5549>.
