      ADDITIONAL SYSTEM INFORMATION :
      java -version
      openjdk version "11.0.26" 2025-01-21
      OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 11.0.26+4-post-Ubuntu-1ubuntu120.04)
      OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 11.0.26+4-post-Ubuntu-1ubuntu120.04, mixed mode, sharing)

      A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
      We would like to clarify how to determine whether a specific fix has been included in JDK 8. Since we cannot guarantee that all customers are using a JDK version that contains the fix, it is crucial for us to have a programmatic way to detect its presence. If the fix is missing, we need to ensure that our system falls back to the existing workaround seamlessly.

      To address this, we would appreciate your guidance on the following:

      JDK Versions with the Fix

      In which JDK 8 updates or versions has this fix been included?
      Are there specific build numbers or patch versions we should check for?
      Is there an official release note or changelog entry confirming this fix?
      Programmatic Detection of the Fix

      What is the best way to programmatically determine if the running JDK includes this fix?
      Are there specific system properties, API behaviors, or other indicators we can check?
      If applicable, is there a test case or code snippet that can be used to validate the presence of the fix?
      Our goal is to ensure compatibility across different customer environments by dynamically adjusting our approach based on whether the fix is present. Any insights you can provide will be greatly appreciated.

      Looking forward to your response.
