Hi,
I found the following problem with the JDK 10 Release Candidate:
- JEP 322 [1] specifies:
java.vendor.version - ... If not assigned at build time then it has no value; otherwise, its value is a non-empty string that matches the regular expression \p{Graph}+
- The new Java 10 API doc for java.lang.System [2] specifies the following:
getProperties() ... This set of system properties always includes values for the following keys: ... java.vendor.version Java vendor version
These two specifications contradict each other. JEP 322 allows for "java.vendor.version" having no value (i.e. being NULL or not defined) if not set at build time, while the API doc requires that System.getProperty("java.vendor.version") always returns a value (i.e. the property must be defined and not NULL).
The current sources in jdk/jdk10 implement the behavior defined in JEP 322. If '--with-vendor-version' isn't given while configuring the build (or is given with an empty string as argument) the System properties won't have an entry for "java.vendor.version".
How can we fix this?
- We could remove "java.vendor.version" from the set of system properties which are required to always have a value.
- We could rephrase JEP 322 to something like "If not assigned at build time then it's value is the empty string; otherwise, ..."
I think I'd prefer the second solution, although that would also require a tiny change to Version.java.template to set the "java.vendor.version" unconditionally.
What do you think?
Regards, Volker
