Hmm, I'm not convinced that you can expect each VM to respond to
-showversion, we may have to continue to handle that in the launcher.
Certainly another VM in popular usage (Sun 5.0) doesn't recognise it
based on my test code below.
We hacked the harmony launcher code to do the brain-dead thing of
printing out the launcher version, but I agree that it should print more
useful info like the VM + classlib versions.
A reasonable way to get the VM version info would be to create the VM
then print the 'java.vm.version' property value.
If you set the ignoreUnrecognized flag to JNI_TRUE then the VM is
created, but does not show the version info of course.
-------------------------------------------------
#include <stdio.h>
#include "jni.h"
int main (int argc, char* argv[]) {
JNIEnv *env;
JavaVM *vm;
JavaVMInitArgs vm_args;
JavaVMOption options[1];
int rc;
options[0].optionString = "-showversion";
vm_args.version = JNI_VERSION_1_2;
vm_args.options = options;
vm_args.nOptions = 1;
vm_args.ignoreUnrecognized = JNI_FALSE;
rc = JNI_CreateJavaVM(&vm, (void **)&env, &vm_args);
if (rc < 0) {
printf("Failed to create VM with rc=%d.", rc);
} else {
printf("Created VM successfully.");
(*vm)->DestroyJavaVM(vm);
}
return(0);
}
