Hi,

Please review the following change for JDK 9:

Bug: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8160370 Webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~bchristi/8160370/webrev.00/

The fix for 7131356 fills in the "os.version" system property on Mac using [NSProcessInfo operatingSystemVersion], available starting in Mac OS 10.9.

While JDK 9 will not support versions of Mac OS prior to 10.9 [1], not all testing infrastructure has been updated, and we've seen failures of

java/lang/System/OsVersionTest.java

The code to restore behavior on older Mac systems is only a few lines, so that seems like a good way to get testing going again.

Thanks, -Brent
