Do we really want this? According to
http://java.sun.com/javase/6/webnotes/version-6.html
the underscore isn't mentioned at all. Is this further specified?

This schema also differs with the Java 6 version number, which displays
"1.6.0_06" for the version, and "1.6.0_06-b02" for the full version. Apparently
"b02"is used here for the build number, while for OpenJDK the "bxx" part is used
as service release / new code drop.
