Public bug reported:

Unless something big changed upstream, or regarding a policy somewhere,
the version string that's printed when you run "java -version" seems
wrong with openjdk-9:

$ java -version
openjdk version "9-Ubuntu"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 9-Ubuntu+0-9b181-4)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 9-Ubuntu+0-9b181-4, mixed mode)


That is causing at least one application I have, from the Brazilian IRS, to fail when parsing that string (screenshot attached):
"""
For input string: "9-U"
"""

It works just fine with jre 1.8, where the -version output is saner:
$ /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/bin/java -version
openjdk version "1.8.0_144"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_144-8u144-b01-2-b01)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.144-b01, mixed mode)
