JDK-8072379 - CoreLibs: Implement jdk.Version
Description
13 Mar 2014 by Pete Brunet - There is some version dependent code that is currently obsolete (differentiates between 1.3, 1.4, 1.5) and should be removed.
This is on the order of a week's effort. The API has a GetVersionInfo function. I recently talked to the major screen reader vendor and they indicated they don't use the function, but in any event it returns whatever the java.version property string is. We should have some release notes and when they are ready I will notify the Assistive Technology vendors.
Comments
I changed this from P2 to P4. The version change only affects what is passed through to the users of the JAB API and according to my survey the information is not being used.

The work effort for this is to remove some obsolete version checking code and update some comments. This code is complete and now pending one more test and review. There is a function which passes the version through to Assistive Technology. Once the version string is available in the version property I will verify that it gets passed through OK and after that verification I will open the Crucible review. After the review is complete I will push the patch.
