Jukka Zitting commented on TIKA-761:
------------------------------------
+1 Looks good.
As a possible improvement, as Nick noted, you could read the version number
from {{/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF}} or from
{{/META-INF/maven/org.apache.tika/tika-app/pom.properties}} so we don't need to
set up a custom properties file for this.
Also, it would be cool if that information could be made available also through
the Java API in tika-core. For example the toString() method of the Tika facade
class could return something like "Apache Tika x.y", and {{tika-app --version}}
would simply output that string.
bq. using -v (lowercase)
-1 for backwards compatibility reasons.

> I'd like to get the Apache Tika version number through CLI argument -V or
> --version. The patch is trivial and basically finished. The only thing
> missing (because Java is not my native programming language) is the actual
> version number. Any hints where I can get that from?
