<pre>Originally reported in Ubuntu: <a href="https://launchpad.net/bugs/1822839">https://launchpad.net/bugs/1822839</a>.
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:
<a href="https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/tree/jvmfwk/plugins/sunmajor/pluginlib/vendorlist.cxx?h=libreoffice-6-2#n33">https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/tree/jvmfwk/plugins/sunmajor/pluginlib/vendorlist.cxx?h=libreoffice-6-2#n33</a>.
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?</pre>
