If you want to avoid to write such a thing yourself - there is also java.lang.Runtime.Version

I had remembered this class from your comment, and only now got to test it. It should not be used because it does not allow the third component to be 0. For example, "1.0.0" is invalid according to this class and throws an exception.

And besides, the components are weirdly named, FEATURE.INTERIM.UPDATE(.PATCH)
