 necessary to have the `openjdk8` port installed.
 The app was built WITH `openjdk8` and should contain it but somehow it
 isn't recognized or something like that.

 > I'm not very familiar with macOS GUI apps that use Java, but I guess the
 .app must contain some kind of start script that starts the `java` process
 with the correct arguments (using the `java` binary from the included
 JRE). Maybe you can take a look at the package contents of another macOS
 GUI app on how to do this.
 It's exactly what I thought but I couldn't find any macOS GUI Java app
 already ported in MacPorts. Do you know any?
