Description
For some hotspot tests the VM is failing to start due to a  "java.version"
parsing problem in the jaxp code (only happens when JFR tracing is enabled)

The reason is that some code in the jaxp repo needs to compare versions.
Currently that code only caress about the major version.
This change will fix that until a comprehensive solution to compare version strings
is implemented
