Sonnek,

worked here immediately
I did make sure I was running the class from the jar (and not from target/classes in the classpath)


afraid I haven't got more ideas here and now..

Sorry about the OT question, but how did you extract the
implementation-version info?  Running in winxp, suns' sdk 1.4.2, I get null
whenever I try to get the info.  Maven built the manifest correctly, but my
app can't get the info.  Here's what I've tried:

//these two give me null for the implementation version
MyClass.class.getPackage().getImplementationVersion();
this.getClass().getPackage().getImplementationVersion();

//this gives me a NPE on the getPackage() call.
Package.getPackage("maven version info").getImplementationVersion();


I've gone through several forums enteries, but haven't got code working so far. Appreciate any help or direction!

Ryan

Subject: runtime inspection of release info


Hi all,


I want to achieve the following:
- have an easy mechanism for applications to be able to inspect their
own release information at runtime... (think about:
help/about dialogs
or log statements showing some release info)

(the info to gather would be the kind of stuf inside the
manifest.mf file)


I was thinking of the following approach: - generate just before compilation a class myproject.package.ReleaseInfo that holds the info hardcoded


before delving into it deaper I was hoping one of you could tell me: 1/ it's already done (couldn't find it) 2/ euh, a number of reasons not to get to do it ;-) 3/ sensible suggestions towards just doing it

regards and thx
