MsEdge v80 and higher do not support ChromeOptions() anymore, you have to use EdgeOptions(). For java I do not know, but for python you need to use selenium 4.0.0a5 or newer.

Sorry, but we're not going to backport Edgium support to Selenium v.3, please wait for a stable version of Selenium 4 or try the current alpha.
