Dave Barnes commented on GEODE-2184:
------------------------------------

Contributor [~alberto.bustamante.reyes] offers a good solution that addresses 
the initial problem by creatively reinterpreting the solution. When I filed the 
original ticket, my proposed solution was to replace version strings with 
generic placeholders. Instead, the proposal is to create a variable in the docs 
config file, config.yml, so the Java version will be kept current.

I like this solution, so have re-titled the ticket to reflect the improvement.

> Examples containing specific version strings, e.g. "Geode 1.0.0-incubating" 
> and "javac 1.8.0_92" must be updated with every doc release or they go out of 
> date. In most cases, the specific numbers are not meaningful to the example. 
> Updating with every related revision requires considerable, usually 
> unnecessary, effort. Replace such version strings with generic placeholders.
