That produces 1 from 25.0.1, and that is really guessing...
I'm not sure this is the right way to guess the version out of EE.
The entire method looks like a big hack.
Why can't we add an extra "JavaCompliance" attribute to org.eclipse.jdt.launching.executionEnvironments extension point and specify there all what we need?

The current code would also return 24 for 1.0.24, so it's not so much worse...

We sure can, but usually, this happens on a branch that takes ages before it is merged...

What it does
Provides some capability for environments that are not yet statically described in JDT.
This is a step towards
#661
How to test
Just ensure no regressions.
Because further guards are in place (eg checking Compiler support for given EE compliance), this would usually be a no-op as for the EE to be returned by the EEManager, the compiler must also declare support for next version.
