#412 Some java give "....-internal" Version numbers hindering OpenJump to start

[Simon Mayer]

Hi there
I installed OpenJump on a debian with OpenJDK 1,8,072 and tried to fire it up.

It Gave me the Message

Your java version '' is insufficient to run OpenJUMP.
Please provide an at least a version '1.6' Java Runtime.
press Enter to finish

I singled it down to the line that extracts the version out of the versionstring;
My VERSIONSTRING echoes:

openjdk version "1.8.0_72-internal" OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_72-internal-b05) OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.72-b05, mixed mode)

Exactly like me your script gets confused by this "internal" stuff. I'v got no idea why i dont have a normal version, i thnk i just have the debian apt-get default.

I thought about making the script accept internal java versions. Sadly the only thing i know about awk is is that it rhymes with hawk. So I cheated and put in the VERSION variable manually, which worked. I'm 100% sure you are better at this.

Cheers, Simon

I installed OpenJDk via apt-get on debian/testing.
"sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jre".
So I don't have miuch information there.
