STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Install Oracle Java9 2. Launch LibreOffice 3. Tool->Options in MainMenu 4. In left pane, click Advanced 5. take a look at right pane. 6. Java 9 is not recognized. I guess this is caused by bool SunVersion::init(const char *szVersion) http://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/jvmfwk/plugins/sunmajor/pluginlib/sunversion.cxx#61 not supporting JEP 223: New Version-String Scheme http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/223
Not that weird, we've come to expect it from Oracle. Another round similar to bug 39659
FYI (1), attention to this Oracle notes: ---------------------------------------- Oracle, Java Platform Group, Product Management blog (Dec 06, 2015): A New JDK 9 Version String Scheme https://blogs.oracle.com/java-platform-group/entry/a_new_jdk_9_version Oracle, Java Platform Group, Product Management blog (Jan 27, 2016): Moving to a Plugin-Free Web https://blogs.oracle.com/java-platform-group/entry/moving_to_a_plugin_free Oracle/Java.com: JDK 9 and the Java Plugin https://www.java.com/en/download/faq/jdk9_plugin.xml [quote=Oracle] Oracle plans to deprecate the Java browser plugin in Java Standard Edition Development Kit 9 (JDK 9). Deprecation is a warning for developers to stop using this technology. JRE 9 will continue to ship the Java Plugin and support launching applets on browsers that still offer standard plugin support. This browser plugin will be removed from the Oracle JDK and JRE in a future Java SE release.

[…] Additional constraints may be provided to filter the list of JVMs available. By default, if no con-straints constraints match the available list of JVMs, the default order is used. The path is printed to standard output. […] -v or --version version Filters the returned JVMs by the major platform version in "JVMVersion" form. Example versions: "1.5+", or "1.6*". […] -V or --verbose Prints the matching list of JVMs and architectures to stderr.

@Caolán, Stephen Are changes going to be needed to sunversion.cxx given this change to naming the Oracle Java builds effective for JDK 9?
Any progress on this issue? Reminder: Java 9 is just around the corner with General Availability on 2017/09/21 according to http://openjdk.java.net/projects/jdk9/ and its first Release Candidate is out since 2017/08/09 according to http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/jdk9-dev/2017-August/005940.html.

Checking further platforms with Java 9 builds as currently available at <http://jdk.java.net/9/> "JDK 9 Early-Access Builds": * Checking on macOS with jdk-9+181_osx-x64_bin.dmg, it is automatically detected in "LibreOffice - Preferences... - LibreOffice - Advanced - Java Options" (and will be used as the preferred version if none has been selected yet). * Checking on Windows with jre-9+181_windows-x64_bin.exe, it can manually be added with "Tools - Options... - LibreOffice - Advanced - Java Options - Add...". (The reason it isn't detected automatically is probably that older JREs are registered under "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/JavaSoft/Java Runtime Environment" while this is registered under "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/JavaSoft/JRE", cf. getJREInfoFromRegistry in jvmfwk/plugins/sunmajor/pluginlib/util.cxx).

Daily builds that contain this fix for testing on macOS platform are where? The last daily build for macOS platform on http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/ is from 2017-Aug-25. Since then no further daily builds for macOS platform have been published, whereas daily builds for Linux and Windows platform still are build and published daily or nearly daily (as the name suggests). Is the build server for macOS platform temporary out of order or paused?

Sep 06 11:22:33 <cloph> sberg: yes, until it stops working and I don't notice.. /me kicks it... Sep 06 11:23:46 <cloph> sberg: but it is true that it is the only daily build provider - jenkins bots do fill bibisect repo though.
