Description
sun.misc.Version is the core libraries part of a private interface with the JVM to query and set specific JVM version and
capabilities, as well as being responsible for setting the system properties for  "java.version", "java.runtime.version", and
"java.runtime.name" ( which are generated during the build ).

It is not a "Critical API", as defined by JEP 260, so should be moved out of sun.misc and placed into a more appropriate
package where it can be encapsulated.
