  1. In new java version changed version output
  2. The Reorg Recommendation Monitor in provides for the ability
     to sort the data shown in either ascending or descending
     sequence by using the column headers. Sorting was realized by
     formatted values and had wrong sequence
  3. Current CAE server on Windows uses JRE which might be
     vulnerable to CVE-2018-12547 (CVSS 9.8)
  

Problem conclusion

• 1. need fix version parser in cae server starting script
  2. Sorting of all columns the table is realized by not formatted
     values
  3. Update JRE used by CAE server on Windows
