OAuth Get Access Token -> Browser component is disabled.

Just installed SoapUI 5.0 on 64bit Ubuntu 14.10, and now I have trouble setting up an OAuth2 authorization profile.
When I press the "Get Access Token" button, a browser window saying "Browser component is disabled." appears, and the Get Token dialogue keeps saying "Waiting for Authorization".

I found some old posts from people having a similar problem with earlier versions of SoapUI on Windows, and tried setting these properties in the soapui.sh startup script:
JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Dsoapui.browser.disabled=false"
JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Dsoapui.jxbrowser.disable=false"
Same result. Setting them to true also changed nothing.

Seems to be a bug - does anyone know of a solution or workaround?

    Found the problem: the browser requires javafx and therefore doesn't work with openjdk. Switching to the Oracle jdk solved it.
