Thanks Iris.

> Regarding the choice of package, I think a package-private class in java.lang is reasonable.  Beyond initialization, I don't see any reason to use this class.  The new jdk.Version API should be used in preference to these *{Major,Minor,Security,...}Version() methods.

Yes, exactly. That was my thought too.

Or just removing them.
