This is a bug in the specification, not the implementation. As I just wrote in a comment on 8197927: JEP 322 expresses the intended behavior: If `--with-vendor-version` is not specified at build time then the `java.vendor.version` property has no value. (That's different from the empty string, which is a value.) The bug is in the specification, which should be revised so as not to require that this property have a value. Fixing the spec is not critical for 10; I suggest downgrading 8197927 to P2 and targeting 11. - Mark
