This bug is fixed in 8u91-b14-2ubuntu1: shell$ java -version openjdk version "1.8.0_91" OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_91-8u91-b14-2ubuntu1-b14) OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.91-b14, mixed mode)
And based on the changelog, for Ubuntu 16.04, it should be fixed in 8u77-b03-3ubuntu4 and later. Commenter in comment #5 seems to have been running unfixed version 8u77-b03-3ubuntu3. Do note that appending anything to the version update number (like "-Ubuntu"), as suggested in comment #5, is a bad idea -- some applications will crash with java.lang.NumberFormatException when parsing a string like "03-Ubuntu". Here's an example: http://askubuntu.com/questions/762286/since-ubuntu-16-04-javaws-no- longer-run-app-while-previously-run-fine-on-ubuntu The version update number seems to be assumed to be a number by several applications. Fixed packages for Xenial should be produced as this breaks Java applications out there. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1550244 Title: Wrong version set in latest openjdk-8 builds To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openjdk-8/+bug/1550244/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
