Not really.I'm not concerned with methods of finding out what the version of a jar is.Of course one can take the effort to look in the manifest file for the version signature .My question is more to do with JUST the reason why Sun does not ship some of the jars as eg j2ee-x.y.z.jar or activation-x.y.z.jar etc , but insted they choose not to include any version numbers , hence we have, for example j2ee.jar (which can be the 1.3 or 1.4 version...and now 5).
