Currently JarFile and MRJAR tests use sun.misc.Version to retrieve the major runtime version. They should be updated to use the new JDK specific Version API.
Note: There is an issue, 8144062 [1], to revisit the JDK specific Version API to determine if it should be moved, or even standardized. The changes being proposed here may need to be updated, in a trivial way, in the future, but this issue is intending to break the dependency on sun.misc.Version so that 8150162 [2] can make progress. Additionally, the future refactoring will most likely be trivial. http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~chegar/8150976/ https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8150976 -Chris.
