Enhancement of FlexNet Inventory Agent to detect additional Java publishers

note

This enhancement is available with IT Asset Management.

Enhanced the agents Java publisher detection by making an additional call to the Java launcher with the HotSpot JVM flag "-XshowSettings -version".

This option is described in the Oracle Java launcher description page https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/tools/unix/java.html​ (look for "-XshowSettings")

In addition to this change, the agent will also check if calling the Java launcher with only the “-version” parameter produces output which mentions the words "Java HotSpot".

This indicates the publisher is “Oracle Corporation” in the event that "-XshowSettings" is not supported in an older version of the Java launcher.
