I don't remember anyone ever refers to the JGSS provider using its 
version. It might be useful for 3rd party providers that could be used 
by multiple versions of JDK. But for these builtin ones, people only 
talks about the JDK versions.

That said, I am OK with any change (and yes, using the JDK version 
number is not a bad idea) but we need not encourage users including this 
version number when they report a bug. 7u25b02 is much more useful in 
locating any coding issues.

Thanks
