Roger Whitcomb commented on PIVOT-996:
--------------------------------------
PIVOT-996: Yet more safety measures: Parse the version strings inside a new
"safelyDecodeVersion()" method that traps all exceptions and provides an
"empty" version (that is, "0.0.0_00") in case of any errors. This is what
the Pivot version already did, so use the same technique for the JVM and Java
versions.
Change the Javadoc for the three accessor methods to note this change of
behavior in case of errors.
Note: This should make application startup possible no matter what might
happen to version strings in the future. We don't want these types of
urgent issues to come up ever again, to where the user application won't
start just because of a JVM update/change.

> Unable to run with SAP JVM

> Key: PIVOT-996
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIVOT-996
> Project: Pivot
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 2.0.4
> Reporter: Sandro Martini
> Assignee: Sandro Martini
> Fix For: 2.0.5, 2.1.0
>
>
> As reported in our Dev mailing list, the check on JVM version that we do
> doesn't work with JVM different than Oracle Java.
> For example the SAP JVM with version "8.1.028 25.51-b14" generates the
> problem, which is blocking.
> The discussion thread is visible for example
> [here](http://apache-pivot-developers.417237.n3.nabble.com/Issue-in-Version-decode-with-SAPJVM-td4027425.html).
> We should check if log a warning and continue the execution, or parse
> anything after he major.minor.patch as a string ...
