Hello,
Please review this change to the new build number implementation in
project Verona. This change is intended to go into the Verona forest for
now until it's time for integration into jdk9.
By definition, the way to determine from the version string if a release
is a GA release or a pre-release is to check if the PRE string is empty.
If it is empty, it's a GA release, otherwise it's not. While this is
logical from a theoretical point of view, it is not immediately obvious
to developers. One place in the OpenJDK where such a check is done is
make/Javadoc.gmk.
In this patch, a new make variable is introduced: VERSION_IS_GA, which
can be either true or false.
