Hello,
First on the build front, the -source/-target used in the bootstrap
build of langtools was stuck at 9; in the change I'm proposing to
update it to 13, the minimum boot JDK:

I had missed this configuration. Ideally I want all the versions that
need updating for each new release collected into the version-numbers
file, or even better, be derived from existing numbers in there. Would
it be ok to just derive this number from the list of valid bootjdk
versions?
I agree deriving the source/target values from a centralized version
numbers location is preferable. I tracked down this file since I want to
use "var" in this changeset, a Java 10 language feature, and got
unexpected compilation errors.
How about I push the current changes while a fuller build fix is worked on?
