Hi, Joe.
I've filed the following JDK 9 RFE to provide this functionality:
8145794: Provide Verona interpretation of historical JDK version strings
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8145794
Thanks,

PPS Perhaps this is already planned as future work, but it might be a kindness
to those analyzing JDK version strings if there was a class that did a "best
effort" at understanding Sun and Oracle JDK version strings pre-Verona to those
post-Verona. In other words, a version class where
new JdkVersion("1.8.0_25")
would have major() == 8 and minor() == 25, but have the specified meaning for
strings for Verona strings where the first group was numerically 9 or larger.
Cheers,
