currently, despite that we are moving from Java-8 to
Java-11, we still support both Java versions. and the
docker image used for testing Datatax driver has
not been updated to install java-11.
the "java" executable provided by openjdk-java-8 does
not support "--version" command line argument. java-11
accept both "-version" and "--version". so to cater
the needs of the the outdated docker image, we pass
"-version" to the selected java. so the test passes
if java-8 is found. a better fix is to update the
docker image to install java-11 though.
the output of "java -version" and "java --version" is
attached here as a reference:
