We have upgraded the application to JDK1.8 and with some patchings as well which now at JDK1.8_0_261. Hence we are getting an error as shown below during the BIRT Report generation. When we downgraded the JDK 1.8 sub version to something like JDK1.8_241, it works just fine. Also we have already tried the same with icu4j-3.4.1.jar libraries but still with the same error. No clue at all so far. Then we tried to edit the VersionInfo.java file and edited the version check from 255 to 271. But no luck this time also. But still could see that the updated icu4j-4.8.jar is being recognized by the application during the BIRT report generation.

Please do help me out with the resolution. Am I still missing anything to check?

I have also facing same issue , But as a workaround if we downgrade java version to 8.0.6.10(251) then issue does not appears
I thought there is some compatibility issue with java version and com.ibm.icu_*.jar

I am facing the same issue with my BIRT installation. I've tried several workarounds related to an updated ICU4 Jar (67.1+) which seems to work for other apps that are affected by this bug, but it doesn't seem to be working in this case with BIRT.

Has anyone found a solution to this problem that doesn't involve downgrading their Java or upgrading their BIRT installation?
