My preference would be for the sig "getVersion(Class)" Gary -----Original Message----- From: jcar...@carmanconsulting.com [mailto:jcar...@carmanconsulting.com] On Behalf Of James Carman Sent: Wednesday, September 15, 2010 03:55 To: Commons Developers List Subject: Re: Version classes On Wed, Sep 15, 2010 at 6:45 AM, sebb <seb...@gmail.com> wrote: > > I like the idea. > > Apache JMeter does the same. > > It also includes the last SVN revision of whatever workspace was used > to build it. > > Since the version is available to Maven (or Ant) it could update (or > perhaps create?) the version file as part of the build. > > If we decide to include the SVN revision as well, we could also add > the SVN revision as a new manifest entry. > > Which makes me wonder - maybe another way to do this would be to have > the getVersion() method read the Manifest entry? We use a method like this: public static String versionOf(Class c) { final String version = c.getPackage().getImplementationVersion(); return StringUtils.isEmpty(version) ? "n/a" : version; } So, if you want to know what version of Hibernate you're using, you'd do: versionOf(org.hibernate.Session.class); --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@commons.apache.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@commons.apache.org
