Cannot start server with GUI

The bug

Since 18w05a you cannot start the server with GUI. This affects double clicking the .jar file and launching it with the arguments

java -jar server.jar

Looking at the log file or at the console you launched the server from shows that it stops right after logging "[main/INFO]: Loaded 0 advancements" and does not do anything afterwards.

Launching it without GUI works fine

java -jar server.jar nogui
