            Specifies that this profile will be activated when a matching JDK is detected.
            For example, {@code 1.4} only activates on JDKs versioned 1.4,
            while {@code !1.4} matches any JDK that is not version 1.4. Ranges are supported too:
            {@code [1.5,)} activates when the JDK is 1.5 minimum.
