>If only Sun's Java team understood the importance of >version tracking in JAR files and in RMI definitions.
Sun has a version standard that defines at the package level the format of an interface specification version (major.minor.edit), the format of an implementation version (a string, comparable for equality but not for less than/ greater than), and the names of the appropriate labels to use for them in the MANIFEST.MF. I think it even showed a set of methods on one of the system classes to look all this data up and compare interface versions. It has been out there for some time; I have a dog-eared hard copy at the office that I printed over a year ago and I don't think it was recent then. A search on the http://java.sun.com site should scare it up. Of course, Jar versioning doesn't help you particularly for RMI, does it? Or does it? It would be very nice if the version tab in Windows and the version checking logic in InstallShield were smart enough to pick up jar versions, but I don't see that happening any time soon.
