It is indeed a bug.

The reason it does not accept the version info is that Oracle changed the version string scheme that JDK uses when they released JDK version 9. Treehouse's code checker has not been updated to account for that change yet.

Here is a version string from the most recent version of JDK 8:

java version "1.8.0_152"

That will pass the challenge.
