Description
As per the https://download.java.net/java/early_access/jdk13/docs/api/java.base/java/lang/System.html#getProperties()

"This set of system properties always includes values for the following keys:"

Observed that "java.compiler" is not listed.
Comments
java.lang.Compiler was deprecated (for removal) in Java SE 9 - see JDK-4285505. As part of this, the reference to the "java.compiler" system property was removed from the Compiler class. The remaining reference to the "java.compiler" will likely go away once JDK-8041676 is addressed. I suspect this latest bug report is actually a duplicate of this one.
