- What does that mean, is that an issue that could cause problems in our environment?
Environment
Resolution
- The exception is caused by a Java 8 bug, which doesn't affect the functionality of Liferay.
- You can either safely ignore it, or try to update your Java to the latest version, or as a workaround, you can disable the -Djava.awt.headless JVM flag if you are not using headless mode in Java.
