The problem is that the Cisco code is not robust enough, so it fails when parsing something it expects to be a number. — Thorbjørn Ravn Andersen, Apr 10 '17 at 14:48

This seems to be Ubuntu bug #1550244: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openjdk-8/+bug/1550244.

A fix does not seem to be available for Ubuntu 16.04 just yet but I grabbed the openjdk packages from Ubuntu 16.10, installed them on 16.04, and that fixed the problem.

Cheers,

It worked for me after I used sudo apt-get dist-upgrade.

Then I installed openjdk as seen in the link How do I install openjdk 7 on Ubuntu 16.04 or higher?
