Description: dbeaver fails to start after installation

Additional info: package version: 7.3.3-1

Steps to reproduce

* Launch dbeaver
* After the splash screen, you'll get a pop-up error message telling you to look at the logs

See attached file for the log file in question.

Note that the archive downloaded from https://dbeaver.io/files/dbeaver-ce-latest-linux.gtk.x86_64.tar.gz
works but it would be nice to not have to download a second copy of the JRE just for dbeaver ...

A quick research on the Internet advises trying using a different JDK runtime. I've tried to set JAVA_HOME to
both to `/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk` and `/usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjkd` but to no avail.
This task depends upon

The attached log refers to a Java 8 environment.

Please be sure to set Java to at least version 11

OK my bad. Apparently setting JAVA_HOME manually does not work, you need to use the `archlinux-java` script as documented in the Wiki.

This bug can be closed I guess, although maybe we could patch the PKGBUILD to display a warning message during installation ?

Something like:

```
warning: this package requires java 11 or later.
Refer to the wiki for detailed instructions.
```

Just a thought, feel free to ignore.
