Sorry, I didn't notice this email initially. This constant makes it possible for TestMap (and other subclasses, if necessary) to automatically check CVS for a versionX copy of a Serialized object, so we can make sure that compatibility is maintained. See, for example, TestMap.getCanonicalFullMapName(Map map).
I'll check in a comment to that effect. - Morgan ----- Original Message ----- From: "Daniel Rall" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Jakarta Commons Developers List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, February 22, 2002 5:22 PM Subject: Re: cvs commit: jakarta-commons/collections/src/test/org/apache/commons/collections TestObject.java > What's the point of this one (just curious)? > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: > > > morgand 02/02/22 14:01:32 > > > > Modified: collections/src/test/org/apache/commons/collections > > TestObject.java > > Log: > > constant to indicate which major release we are working on > > > > Revision Changes Path > > 1.4 +6 -4 jakarta-commons/collections/src/test/org/apache/commons/collections/TestObje ct.java > > > > Index: TestObject.java > > =================================================================== > > RCS file: /home/cvs/jakarta-commons/collections/src/test/org/apache/commons/collection s/TestObject.java,v > > retrieving revision 1.3 > > retrieving revision 1.4 > > diff -u -r1.3 -r1.4 > > --- TestObject.java 22 Feb 2002 02:18:50 -0000 1.3 > > +++ TestObject.java 22 Feb 2002 22:01:32 -0000 1.4 > > @@ -1,7 +1,7 @@ > > /* > > - * $Header: /home/cvs/jakarta-commons/collections/src/test/org/apache/commons/collection s/TestObject.java,v 1.3 2002/02/22 02:18:50 mas Exp $ > > - * $Revision: 1.3 $ > > - * $Date: 2002/02/22 02:18:50 $ > > + * $Header: /home/cvs/jakarta-commons/collections/src/test/org/apache/commons/collection s/TestObject.java,v 1.4 2002/02/22 22:01:32 morgand Exp $ > > + * $Revision: 1.4 $ > > + * $Date: 2002/02/22 22:01:32 $ > > * > > * ==================================================================== > > * > > @@ -90,12 +90,14 @@ > > * test case (method) your {@link Object} fails. > > * > > * @author Rodney Waldhoff > > - * @version $Id: TestObject.java,v 1.3 2002/02/22 02:18:50 mas Exp $ > > + * @version $Id: TestObject.java,v 1.4 2002/02/22 22:01:32 morgand Exp $ > > */ > > public abstract class TestObject extends TestCase { > > public TestObject(String testName) { > > super(testName); > > } > > + > > + public static final String COLLECTIONS_VERSION = "version2"; > > > > /** > > * Return a new, empty {@link Object} to used for testing. > > -- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
