[Bug]: Hello World Sample uses a deprecated method (.major())

From the docs:

major Link icon
@Deprecated(since="10")
public int major()
Deprecated.
As of Java SE 10, the first element of a version number is not the major-release number but the feature-release counter, incremented for every time-based release. Use the feature() method in preference to this method. For compatibility, this method returns the value of the feature element.
Returns the value of the major element of the version number.
Returns:
The value of the feature element

Thank you for your report. I just pushed a fix.

@JosePaumard thank you for the quick response, btw, I enjoy your videos on YouTube, please keep up the good work.

This issue is kinda fixed. If I go to the Dev Java playground directly (https://dev.java/playground/), I see the feature() method used which is correct. However, if I click the Samples dropdown, then select Hello World template/example, then it defaults back to the deprecated method.

Btw, this issue also exists in the Learn Java playground (https://learn.java/playground/). We have lots of people using this playground and learning java and I just want to make sure that they're not learning deprecated APIs.

Thanks for your work on this.

Thanks @yekafe.
The Dropdown has been fixed too, see java/playground-snippets@908db8c
We will also address it on learn.java.
We just need to agree on the variable name ;-)
