Hello,

Valid point. Reordered the versions search order.

I also noticed that there is a new build failure caused by a warning in 
a test. This patch disables the warning. There is a bug filed for fixing 
it already:

https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8203802

New webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~erikj/8203795/webrev.02/
