The following is from http://www.ibiblio.org/java/#recent I have a request to make of the log4j team, as well as all the other Java programmers at the Apache Project, IBM alphaWorks, Sun, and everyone else who distributes JAR archives. Could you please attach a version number to all your JARs?

Axis contains an org.apache.axis.Version class, which has a getVersionString() method and a main() which prints the version info to System.out. The version string comes from a resource file, and is automatically updated by our ant build each time the jar is put together. Being a SOAP

Oh, I misunderstood what you were wanting. A big -1 to naming all jars with version #s. I can't think of a bigger pain in the keister than having to revamp my classpath settings every time a library revs. I could see heading down a road where all the Apache jars do programatic(sp?) version

Alas, this doesn't work in Windows environments Yes, that's sad, fortunatly you could still do a copy ;) copy c:\java\log4j-1.1.3.jar c:\java\log4j.jar log4j 1.2 is out : del c:\java\log4j.jar copy c:\java\log4j-1.2.jar c:\java\log4j.jar dir c:\java\log4j*.jar let you determine

[Elliotte Rusty Harold] You're still using the classpath for jars? I only do that when I want to change the classpath on a per-run basis, in which case I am changing it and using the version number is not a problem. However, for standard libraries like xerces.jar that are shared among

A big +1 to adding version numbers to jar names In Windows, I never preset my classpath: I have a simple batch file for each project/codebase which uses the jars in the lib in my development tree to set the correct and minimum classpath for my current work. Otherwise, you'd have to update all
