Greg Brown commented on PIVOT-746: ---------------------------------- > to add the build.properties to any Pivot jar we can do it inside our Ant > build process. FYI, Roger's patch already added this to build.xml. > I've just seen that inside Pivot jars (for example all jars of Pivot-2.0), in > the manifest there is this element: > Implementation-Version: 2.0 I actually wrote code to do this a long time ago, but it was pretty messy. The manifest isn't on the classpath, so it's not easy to get to programmatically. > Add API to return Version of Pivot retrieved from "build.properties" > -------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: PIVOT-746 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIVOT-746 > Project: Pivot > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: wtk > Affects Versions: 2.0.1 > Environment: Windows XP SP3, JDK 1.6.0_16 > Reporter: Roger Whitcomb > Assignee: Greg Brown > Priority: Trivial > Fix For: 2.0.1 > > Attachments: pivot746_patch2.patch, version.patch > > Original Estimate: 1h > Remaining Estimate: 1h > > Would be helpful to be able to determine programmatically what the version of > Pivot is. The simplest method is to include "build.properties" which is the > original source of this information in the packaged .jar files and then to > provide an API to read and parse this value into a Version structure. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
