Hi Glavo,
 Please don't integrate as long as you don't have the fix-yes tag on the JBS issue!!!  I'll block this by asking for a review.
 Passing Pre-submit tests is only a minimal test precondition. You should run additional tests to test the fix and to assure there are no regressions. E.g., all langtool tests, some compile jobs that stress javac etc. 

Also, this is a 17.0.8 change. We are still working on 17.0.7. Usually, we keep these in-sync. Also, the fix is brand-new in head.   Is there a good reason you need this in 17.0.7?  I would prefer to wait for 17.0.8.  See also the project homepage for the timetables.
