      Description

      Running the Jalview executable installed in Ubuntu 18.04 does not launch the program.

      After some digging, I found that somewhere in the code, the exception "java.awt.AWTError: Assistive Technology not found: org.GNOME.Accessibility.AtkWrapper" was being thrown.

      As suggested in https://askubuntu.com/questions/695560/assistive-technology-not-found-awterror, I've fixed the issue in my machine by commenting the line "assistive_technologies=org.GNOME.Accessibility.AtkWrapper" in the file "/etc/java-8-openjdk/accessibility.properties", which seems to solve the issue. I'm not sure how to solve the issue in the code of Jalview, however.
