Interface ClassFileVersion
- All Superinterfaces:
- ClassElement,- ClassFileElement
class file (JVMS
 4.1).  The class file version appears exactly once in each
 class, and is set to an unspecified default value if not explicitly provided.
 
 The major versions of class file format begins at 45 for Java Platform version 1.0.2, and is continuous
 up to ClassFile.latestMajorVersion().  In general, each major version
 defines a new supported class file format, modeled by ClassFileFormatVersion, and supports all previous formats.
 
 For major versions up to 55 for Java SE
 Platform 11, the minor version of any value is supported.  For major versions
 56 for Java SE Platform version 12 and above,
 the minor version must be 0 or 65535.
 The minor version 0 is always supported, and represents the format
 modeled by ClassFileFormatVersion.  The minor version 65535
 indicates the class file uses preview features of the Java SE
 Platform release represented by the major version.  A Java Virtual Machine
 can only load such a class file if it has the same Java SE Platform
 version and the JVM has preview features enabled.
