RuntimeVersionType

All Superinterfaces:

java.lang.Comparable<RuntimeVersionType>

All Known Implementing Classes:

RuntimeVersion
```
@Immutable
public interface RuntimeVersionType
extends java.lang.Comparable<RuntimeVersionType>
```
A (slightly reduced) version number for Java runtimes. This version represents a subset of the possible data present in Java runtime versions. Specifically, this version number represents just the semantic versioning information, plus a build number.
