I'm not 100% clear what you mean. To answer the question: The filename?
"java -version" output?

$ ls -1
OpenJDK11U-x64_linux_11.0.3_6_ea.tar.gz
OpenJDK11U-x64_linux_11.0.3_7.tar.gz

$ ./openjdk-11.0.3+6/bin/java -version
openjdk version "11.0.3-ea" 2019-04-16
OpenJDK Runtime Environment 18.9 (build 11.0.3-ea+6)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM 18.9 (build 11.0.3-ea+6, mixed mode)

$ ./openjdk-11.0.3+7/bin/java -version
openjdk version "11.0.3" 2019-04-16
OpenJDK Runtime Environment 18.9 (build 11.0.3+7)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM 18.9 (build 11.0.3+7, mixed mode)

For JDK 8u it won't show up in the version output, but I'm not sure
that can be helped. Archive file names still have "ea" in their name
and the build numbers show up in version output so as to distinguish
them.

Thanks,
Severin
