[jira] [Created] (DERBY-6854) Make it possible to run Derby tests on early access versions of JDK 9

------------------------------------

             Summary: Make it possible to run Derby tests on early access versions of JDK 9
                 Key: DERBY-6854
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-6854
             Project: Derby
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Build tools
    Affects Versions: 10.12.1.1
            Reporter: Rick Hillegas


Early access versions of JDK 9 (build 100) have "9-ea" as the java.version and "9" as the java.specification.version. This confused the JavaVersionHolder class which the regression tests use in order to determine the vm level. At a minimum, we need to make JavaVersionHolder recognize these early access strings.

This issue can be left open even after a fix is applied because we have no idea how java.version and java.specification.version are going to evolve over the remaining development cycle for JDK 9.
