[Bug 61679] New: jmeter doesn't start with Java 9.0.1

            Bug ID: 61679
           Summary: jmeter doesn't start with Java 9.0.1
           Product: JMeter
           Version: 3.3
          Hardware: PC
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: P2
         Component: Main
          Assignee: issues@jmeter.apache.org
          Reporter: romanlevin@gmail.com
  Target Milestone: ---

After installing jmeter, it fails to start:
```shell
$ jmeter
Error: Java version is too low to run JMeter. Needs at least Java >= 1.8.0
```

This because of this bit of shell script in
`/usr/local/Cellar/jmeter/3.3/libexec/bin/jmeter`:
```sh
# Minimal version to run JMeter
MINIMAL_VERSION=1.8.0

# Check if Java is present and the minimal version requirement
_java=`type java | awk '{ print $ NF }'`
CURRENT_VERSION=`"$_java" -version 2>&1 | awk -F'"' '/version/ {print $2}'`
minimal_version=`echo $MINIMAL_VERSION | awk -F'.' '{ print $2 }'`
current_version=`echo $CURRENT_VERSION | awk -F'.' '{ print $2 }'`
if [ $current_version ]; then
        if [ $current_version -lt $minimal_version ]; then
                 echo "Error: Java version is too low to run JMeter. Needs at
least Java >= ${MINIMAL_VERSION}." 
                 exit 1
        fi
    else
         echo "Not able to find Java executable or version. Please check your
Java installation."
         exit 1
fi
```
which compares the `8` in `1.8.0` to the `0` in `9.0.1` (the `java` cask), thus
deciding Java 9 is too old.

This is a [known
issue](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/38128132/cant-run-jmeter-on-os-x-el-capitan).

Hi,

we are finalizing the migration to Java 9

For the moment, please use Java 8

Hello,
Thanks for report but If you read here:

http://jmeter.apache.org/download_jmeter.cgi

Or here:

http://jmeter.apache.org/changes.html

You'll see that JMeter 3.3 is not compatible with Java 9 yet as a lot of
applications as Java 9 is a breaking version due to module.
This is tracked under Bug 61529


The nightly build is now compatible (except for the Windows shell) with Java 9
if you want to give it a try:

- http://jmeter.apache.org/nightly.html

The stackoverflow question you mention has no relation.
