Hello Castor developers, It's not first time that the version info in org.exolab.castor.util.Version is out of sync with actual version ( see https://svn.codehaus.org/castor/castor/tags/castor-1.3.2/xml/src/main/java/org/exolab/castor/util/Version.java )
Maven seems to be configured to generate MANIFEST.MF for castor-xml jar, but wrongly (e.g. MANIFEST.MF for 1.3.2 contains "Implementation-Version: $VERSION$$RELEASE$") Assuming that jar plugin gets configured to properly generate MANIFEST.MF, and include version info there by using/referencing project.version from pom.xml, IMO it would be DRY solution for org.exolab.castor.util.Version to read (& cache) version info from MANIFEST.MF One of the obstacles would be to read MANIFEST.MF from jar where org.exolab.castor.util.Version is packaged in. Following stackoverflow question/topic has some answers: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1272648/reading-my-own-jars-manifest Regards, Stevo. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this list, please visit: http://xircles.codehaus.org/manage_email
