AEM throws "Version number may be negative or greater than 255" while upgrading to JDK jdk1.8.0_261

[ranjeet_jha]

We are getting the below error after updating java from jdk1.8.0_241 to jdk1.8.0_261 for AEM 6.3 as well as 6.5.

However, If we are using jdk1.8.0_241 everything was working fine. Only issues with jdk1.8.0_261. Please let us know how to fix the below issue.

Hi @ranjeet_jha,

You need to do two things here:

• Review the "java.version" system property.
• Check the dependency [it might be ICU4J] version, upgrade it to the latest one.

Hope it helps.

Thanks,

Kiran Vedantam.

Please check with Adobe support. That's an issue which I think can be fixed only by Adobe.

This issue was fixed with AEM Forms 6.5.7.0 and 6.4.8.3 (an internal aglj40 jar was updated)

Please upgrade to the latest to receive the fix.
