If I understand your problem correctly - the application needs gnome-open executable.
It is available from libgnome2-bin package (see results from packages.ubuntu.com), so you need to install it with
sudo apt install libgnome2-bin
And xdg-open is usually pre-installed as part of xdg-utils package.

I think the problem is being generated by the OpenJDK. I successful installed this new version of the IRPF software using Oracle Java 11.
I tested this on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. If you are running different version things can potentially be different.
I would recommend you get start by removing the Openjdk. This can be done by issuing the following command:
sudo apt-get remove openjdk*
Then I suggest you (for the sake of simplicity) to add a PPA to your Ubuntu system in order to easy install Oracle Java 11. My choice was the following one
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:linuxuprising/java
After you added the PPA run
sudo apt update
sudo apt install oracle-java11-installer
It is also recommended to run
sudo apt install oracle-java11-set-default
In my case nothing happens, but I am mentioning this, just to be sure everything is working. You can now check whether the new Java is correct installed by issuing
java -version
The desired result is something like this
java version "11.0.2" 2019-01-15 LTS
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 18.9 (build 11.0.2+9-LTS)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 18.9 (build 11.0.2+9-LTS, mixed mode)
If everything is alright I guess you can run the IRPF program. Move to the folder where it was downloaded and then execute it. If you did not change the original file name this would work out as long as you are on the right directory
./IRPF2019Linux-x86_64v1.5.bin
Now, enjoy doing you IR :)
