It’s also getting to be an awful lot of text to add to the otherwise terse tabular summary of system properties in the [`System::getProperties()` specification](https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/18/docs/api/java.base/java/lang/System.html#getProperties()). Consider using this text in the table: > Java Runtime Environment specification maintenance version, which may be > interpreted as a positive integer (optional, see below) and then this in a paragraph following the table: > The {@code java.specification.maintenance.version} property is defined if the > specification implemented by this runtime at the time of its construction had > undergone a <a href="https://jcp.org/en/procedures/jcp2#3.6.4";>maintenance > release</a>.
