SQE is ok to take the fix in CPU14_04.

Verified with 8u20 b19 per dev instruction

At least now: - the crucible review request is not completed. - JDK8u25 b01 not yet tested by SQE. - SQE doesn't have Mac OS 10.10 on board to verify the fix. Taking into account this is not a show stopper for CPU14_03 SQE is NOT OK to take it in CPU14_03.

Confirmed the installer for JDK 8u20 b17 downloaded from jdk8.java.net does indeed install on OS X 10.10 Developer Preview

JRE/JDK packages comparing supported version and OS ProductVersion strings, should use installer javascript function compareVersions (https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/DeveloperTools/Reference/InstallerJavaScriptRef/system/system.html#//apple_ref/javascript/instm/System/compareVersions)

Marvin: do you have a Mac 10.10 machine that we can test the fix with?

More like two years... the latest on ADC is 10.9.1, there are no developer accessible copies of anything later than that.

Root cause of this is probably factoring in sig figure of $min version. 10.10 is ~1 year from release. How can we get an advance copy/login cred to test this?
