Hi,

Please review this doc-only change.  From the bug report:

'With the integration of JEP 322 "Time-Based Release Versioning"
into JDK 10, VERSION_FEATURE is used to set the value of the system 
properties "java.specification.version" [1] and 
"java.vm.specification.version" [2] (though the term "major" is still 
used in VM code, see JDK-8193719).

We can update the System.getProperties() javadoc to be more specific 
about the value reported in these system properties.'

Issue:

Thanks,
