            Bug ID: 124503
           Summary: LibreOffice doesn't detect JVM because of unexpected
                    java.vendor property value
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.2.2.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: LibreOffice
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: olivier.tilloy at canonical.com

Originally reported in Ubuntu: https://launchpad.net/bugs/1822839.

A recent OpenJDK update in Ubuntu 19.04 (to be released later this month)
changes the value of the "java.vendor" property, from the well-known name
"Oracle Corporation" to "Private Build".

This breaks the code in LibreOffice that detects an installed JVM, because the
vendor name is validated against a hardcoded list:
https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/tree/jvmfwk/plugins/sunmajor/pluginlib/vendorlist.cxx?h=libreoffice-6-2#n33.

This change can probably be reverted in Ubuntu, but I'm wondering what the
purpose of that hardcoded list of vendors is? Isn't it a valid use case for
distributions to change the vendor name?
