Hello,

 

Per http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/223 "The major version number, incremented for a major release that contains significant new features as specified in a new edition of the Java SE Platform Specification"  so $MINOR should not be part of the specification version.

 

At the same time trying the build 9.1.1 (produced with following additional arguments passed to configure:

"--with-version-pre= --with-version-major=9 --with-version-minor=1 --with-version-security=1 --with-version-opt=") and dumping system properties shows that "java.specification.version = 9.1.1" while "java.vm.specification.version = 9"

 

Am I right that the specification version for 9.1 should still be 9?

 

Thanks!

 

Best regards,

Daniil
