JDK 12 RFR of JDK-8206085 : Refactor langtools/tools/javac/versions/Versions.java

[Jonathan Gibbons]

There's more static in this file than on my high-school Van de Graaf 
generator!

Can we follow the convention of creating an instance in main, and then 
using instance methods.

The naming of some methods is also novel, with respect to case-conventions.
