CFV: New Project: Verona

[Iris Clark]

Hi, Jiri.

Thanks for the suggestion.  I'm not sure I understand the use case.  The API can be used to achieve the same effect of any one of your invocations with a small amount of code:

  public static void main(String ... args) {
      // java -version:major
      System.out.format("%d%n", jdk.util.Version.current().major());
  }

Regards,
iris

hello!


Looking to the jep, I'm  missing more granular command-line api.
Instead of regex on java -version, -version can take an argument:
java -version major
java -version minor
java -version security
java -version  vnum
java -version  pre
java -version  build
java -version  opt

Or even any combination of those above... Or whatever what suits implementators

Thank you !
