Robert Muir commented on SOLR-12141:
------------------------------------
maybe add a simple "no-op" main method class and run it? If it fails with
non-zero exit code, just print an error like "unsupported or broken java: `java
-version`" or whatever. i think it would be a lot less fragile than parsing
version strings which may change in format etc.

> If you try to start Solr on Windows with Java 10, it fails with the following
> message:
> {noformat}
> C:\Users\Uwe Schindler\Desktop\solr-7.3.0\bin>solr start -e techproducts
> ERROR: Java 1.8 or later is required to run Solr. Current Java version is: 10
> {noformat}
> Java 8 and Java 9 works. I did not try Linux, but the version parsing on
> Windows is so braindead (i tried to fix it for Java 9 already). Windows CMD
> shell does not know any numerical comparisons, so it fails as "10" is
> alphabetically smaller "9".
> I hope this is better on Linux.
> Why do we have the version check at all? Wouldn't it be better to simply wait
> for a useful message by the Java VM on startup because of wrong class file
> format? This is too simply to break, especially as the output of "java
> -version" is not standardized (and changes with Java 10 to also have a date
> code,...). It also may contain "openjdk" instead of "java".
> So please please, let's get rid of the version check!
