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).
