If the "-ea" would not be part of the string (e.g. final release of Java 9), it
would fail with ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException in the following line.
See http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/223 for new version number formats, so be
prepared and don't fail code with exceptions caused by missing consistency
checks.
This "note" from the above JEP applies to your code:
bq. Note that all code which has historically detected . in any of these system
properties as part of version identification will need to be examined and
potentially modified. For example,
System.getProperty("java.version").indexof('.') will return -1 for major
releases.

> org.apache.pdfbox.util.PDFTextStripper class initialization throws
> NumberFormatException with recent Verona-enabled Java 9 JVMs

> Key: PDFBOX-3155
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-3155
> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 1.8.8, 1.8.10
> Reporter: Uwe Schindler
> Priority: Critical
>
> Lucene/Solr runs its whole testsuite also with Java 9 EA releases to trigger
> bugs early. In our tests (Solr + TIKA) we found out that
> org.apache.pdfbox.util.PDFTextStripper throws a NumberFormatException in its
> static initializer when parsing the "java.version" system property. The
> reason for failure is a change in Java 9, where version numbers got a new
> format.
> There are 2 problems:
> - It should not assume that all components are really a number. So it should
> try/catch NumberFormatException and assign some "unknown" version
> - The code should really use "java.specification.version". This is
> standardized and only contains digits.
> - The code should also be prepared to handle version numbers without minor
> version! E.g. Java 9 only has "9" instead of "1.9" as its main version number.
> For the use case I would nuke this check and find a better workaround.
> Relying on String parsing for non-standardized system properties in a static
> class initializer is the reason why this bug is raised to level "Critical".
