All Implemented Interfaces:

Comparable<Version>

public class OracleVersion
extends Version

A representation of the Oracle JDK version-string which interprets the fourth element of the version number as a patch release.

Version numbers

The Oracle implementation of the version number contains a fourth element to identify the patch release as follows:

     $MAJOR.$MINOR.$SECURITY.$PATCH
 

• $MAJOR, $MINOR, and $SECURITY are as defined in Version.

• $PATCH --- The patch level, incremented for a release containing security and high-priority customer fixes which have been tested together. $PATCH is reset to zero when $SECURITY, $MINOR, or $MAJOR are incremented. $PATCH is included in the short version string if it is not zero.

Version strings

The version string is as defined in Version with the following addenda:

• $PRE is ea for all known non-GAC (General Availability Candidate) releases and defaults to internal for developer builds.

• $BUILD is required for promoted builds and is optional for developer builds.

• $OPT may contain bug IDs to identify custom releases or information identifying development builds.
