Hmm, as I re-read it, I think it's too ambiguous to include '.' as a separator as it's possible to interpret the info as optional trailing info instead of version number as your earlier comment mentioned. I updated the @implNote and removed the '.' as the separator for the other info. I think this one should be clearer... Webrev is updated in place with only Provider.java, i.e. see line 233-248 of http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~valeriep/8130181/webrev.02/src/java.base/share/classes/java/security/Provider.java.sdiff.html

(Will update CCC after webrev is finalized)
Thanks,
Valerie

One tiny thing, in Provider.java:

  244      *{@code getVersion()}, by filtering out the trailing optional 
information

There should be a space between * and {.

I am not sure if this is worth a clarification, that when version string is "1.2.3", we would like "1.2" 
being the version number and "3" being other information. Do you think your @implNote also allows "1" being 
interpreted as version number and "2.3" as other information? A regex is greedy but the @implNote does not imply it.

I thought about it, but as Provider object is serializable, if the field is of 
new type Runtime.Version class, the (de-)serialization against older releases 
may break.
I see.

What exactly is the version style that you have in mind then? I think the 
major.minor thing is quite reasonable.
1.9d does not really look like a version to me. Do you want to special handling 
this just because the earlier version is a double?
Since you mentioned "major" and "minor" in the spec, we have to define it. 
Either referring to the Version class, or define one inside Provider. My preference is later, with 
a regex /(^\d+(\.\d+)?)/, which is a superset of Version.

If you mandate the use of Verona version style, can we just use the Version 
class in the constructor?

Well, we have to define something for the version syntax and how it converts to 
the legacy double version.
I think it makes sense to follow the Verona JEP as that's the JDK version 
syntax which seems to fit the normal convention of release numbering.

Maybe we can clarify major and minor by referring to java.lang.Runtime.Version 
class?
