Bug Description

Unless something big changed upstream, or regarding a policy somewhere, the version string that's printed when you run "java -version" seems wrong with openjdk-9:

$ java -version
openjdk version "9-Ubuntu"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 9-Ubuntu+0-9b181-4)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 9-Ubuntu+0-9b181-4, mixed mode)

That is causing at least one application I have, from the Brazilian IRS, to fail when parsing that string (screenshot attached):
"""
For input string: "9-U"
"""

It works just fine with jre 1.8, where the -version output is saner:
$ /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/bin/java -version
openjdk version "1.8.0_144"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_144-8u144-b01-2-b01)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.144-b01, mixed mode)

the spec doesn't talk how to identify vendor builds, and doesn't talk about how to configure the build to include this information in the version information. Yes, it should be changed. Let's wait for the first "update" version, how the version information will change with that.
