New Java Version - it's not JDK 1.9
JDK Enhancement Proposal (JEP) 223 is a new JDK versioning scheme to make it easier to distinguish major, minor, and security releases. It's simpler, more intuitive, easier to parse, and aligns with current industry practices, in particular Semantic Versioning. For example, if JDK 1.7.0_65-b20 (7u65) used this new versioning scheme, the version string would be JDK 7.6.15+20 (7.6.15).
