[jdk9] Heads up: Hotspot version string output is changing to match that of the JDK (original) (raw)

A policy question: Does this mean that we can no longer expect large Hotspot changes in a single JDK release? JDK7 has seen HS21->22->23->24; some of those leaps were pretty substantial.

There is no longer a separate hotspot version in jdk9 (see attached email for details), so the version string produced by java -version and java -Xinternalversion in jdk9 builds will be changed to match that of the JDK (as was the case before Hotspot express). And also to add additional info for non promoted or developers builds. The details of this change are described here: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8030011 a webrev with the fix will be sent soon. Let me know if you have any feedback/suggestion thanks -- Alejandro
