I am looking at it from the users' point of view. Oracle (proprietary)
JDKs claim to be "java version..." as do IBM (proprietary) JDKs. Isn't
openjdk the odd one out if it claims to be "openjdk version..."?
I also think it will be much more painful for all our users to have to
fix their scripts and tests if any of those scripts or tests happen to
rely on the output of "java -version". Fixing our tests and scripts
would surely be less painful.
Thanks,

I note that "java -XshowSettings" prints out all sorts of info in a
structured format. Scripts might want to use this if possible.
you do it at your own risk.
fyi:
% java -X
.......
.....
-XshowSettings:locale
show all locale related settings and continue
The -X options are non-standard and subject to change without notice.
