Hi.
Reviving this work from a few months back.
Please review the following changes to move jdk.Version to
jdk.lang.Runtime.Version.
Bug
8144062: Move jdk.Version to java.lang.Runtime.Version
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8144062

When jdk.Version was initially pushed in jdk-9+1-5, it was
Improperly exported by java.base. After exploring a few
options, the best choice was to move jdk.Version to
java.lang.Runtime.Version (a nested class of Runtime). By
making Version an SE API, it may be exported by the java.base
module.
As part of the move, a limited number of chnages were
made to the Version class:
- Change package name and class declaration (to static)
- Eliminate use of "JDK" when describing a Java SE API
- Initial clarifications related to zeros (trailing vs.
Internal components)
- Small typographical and grammatical enhancements
- Indentation
The complete Runtime.Version specification is available here:
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~iris/verona/8144062/doc.1/java/lang/Runtime.Version.html
The old jdk.Version.current() was replaced with
Runtime.version().
In System.getProperties(), we indicate which version-related
system properties may be supported by Runtime.Version.
The remaining jdk and langtools file changes are all
side-effects of changing jdk.Version.current() to
Runtime.version().
Thanks,
Iris
