This fix will be inadequate as the expectation is to have the
(reasonably?) same base image as the build platform. If you had built
the JDK on say, centos 7, then the test would likely work.

So if anything, I agree with David who commented on the bug, there
should be a way to set the to-be-used base image via some option in the
test using the current value as a default.

Here is what AdoptOpenJDK does:

ARG IMAGE_NAME=adoptopenjdk/openjdk8
ARG IMAGE_VERSION=latest

FROM $IMAGE_NAME:$IMAGE_VERSION

Example usage:
docker build --build-arg IMAGE_NAME=fedora --build-arg IMAGE_VERSION=29 [...]
