Uwe Schindler commented on PDFBOX-3155:
---------------------------------------
No, it would still be solely "9". Read the JEP as posted above. Spec version is
just defined as numeric with dots only. While the java.version may contain any
freetext behind the version.
If you read Lucene code you will see how it parses the spec version.

> Key: PDFBOX-3155
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-3155
> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 1.8.8, 1.8.10
> Reporter: Uwe Schindler
> Priority: Critical
>
> Lucene/Solr runs its whole testsuite also with Java 9 EA releases to trigger
> bugs early. In our tests (Solr + TIKA) we found out that
> org.apache.pdfbox.util.PDFTextStripper throws a NumberFormatException in its
> static initializer when parsing the "java.version" system property. The
> reason for failure is a change in Java 9, where version numbers got a new
> format.
> There are 3 problems:
> - It should not assume that all components are really a number. So it should
> try/catch NumberFormatException and assign some "unknown" version
> - The code should really use "java.specification.version". This is
> standardized and only contains digits.
> - The code should also be prepared to handle version numbers without minor
> version! E.g. Java 9 only has "9" instead of "1.9" as its main version number.
> For the use case I would nuke this check and find a better workaround.
> Relying on String parsing for non-standardized system properties in a static
> class initializer is the reason why this bug is raised to level "Critical".
