Description

In Solr.cmd, when using SSL, there is a check to verify what version of java solr is running with. If this version of Java is greater or equal java 9 it will load the jetty https module while for java 8 it will use https8.

However, this java version check is done before the java major version variable has been assigned. As a result, Solr in windows doesn't work when SSL is enabled.

 

To fix this issue, it is enough if java checks are done before SSL checks.

 

I have attached a patch with the modifications.
