> The JDK profile activator uses property {{java.version}} to determine is
> profile active or not, but if you look at MNG-3746 you can see that Maven
> _allows overriding that property_ by user, but also, today some "weird
> formatted" version may pop up in the wild.
> The JDK profile activator is not prepared for these cases, and will just
> throw (NumberFormatEx), without telling why it did belly up.
> Improve the message why it throw.
