It looks like this is a description printed before we changed the evaluator (issue #108873).
But it has a sense to display a more detailed message. I'll have a look if I can get some error description from the javac parser.

The Version field should not be updated - it should contain the oldest version it was found in.

IMHO it should be marked more as ENHANCEMENT than as DEFECT.
Comment 6 Martin Entlicher 2015-08-20 06:10:12 UTC 
I agree. Thanks.
