An impassioned plea on version numbers

[Peter Lawrey]

I am assuming a minimum of changes to the format of the current internal
Java version

$ java -version
java version "1.8.0_144"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_144-b01)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.144-b01, mixed mode)

With a recent version of Java 8 update 144, being 1.8.0_144 internally.
