Hi,
It was just brought to my attention that the output of java -version is
different on builds of jdk8 when compared to jdk7 [1]:
# java -version
openjdk version "1.8.0-internal"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0-internal-0)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Zero VM (build 25.0-b20-internal, interpreted mode)
# java -version
java version "1.7.0_25"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (fedora-2.3.10.3.fc19-ppc64)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Zero VM (build 23.7-b01, interpreted mode)
OpenJDK 7 identifies itself as "java version...." while OpenJDK 8
identifies itself as "openjdk version...". Is this intentional? Will
this be changed after Java 8 is finalized?
It comes from common/autoconf/version-numbers which has:
LAUNCHER_NAME=openjdk
which seems to be a mistake to me as obviously the launcher name is not
openjdk.
