Openhab won´t start after upgrade to 4.0.3

Setup, Configuration and Use Migration
1

Hi all,
after upgrade to version 4.0.3 openhab won´t start. I got the following error.
● openhab.service - openHAB - empowering the smart home
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/openhab.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
Active: activating (auto-restart) (Result: exit-code) since Sun 2023-09-17 11:51:08 CEST; 3s ago
Docs: Introduction | openHAB
https://community.openhab.org
Process: 69570 ExecStart=/usr/share/openhab/runtime/bin/karaf ${OPENHAB_STARTMODE} (code=exited, status=255/EXCEPTION)
Main PID: 69570 (code=exited, status=255/EXCEPTION)
CPU: 987ms

After the update I cleaned the cache by openhab-cli command.

Information:
OS Linux mint Victoria, all available updates installed
Browser Firofox 117.0.1. for mint
Java Zulu11 11.0.20.1-3

I can´t figure out what the exitcode means and what to do to get openhab4.0.3. started.

Any help would be welcome.

Any entry in openhab.log file ?
Anything shown by sudo journalctl -u openhab ?

It looks like it has something to do with the exception in row 2. If that is correct, then is the question how solve this exception.

Kind regards,

Solution
I’ve made a full backup of the current configuration, things, items and so on by sudo openhab-cli --full command. After that i’ve uninstalled openhab 3.4 and deleted /etc/default/openhab and /var/lib/openhab. I upgraded zulu to 17.08.1 and installed openhab 4.0.3. After restoring the backup via sudo openhab-cli restore everything works fine.
