Greg Brown commented on PIVOT-746:
----------------------------------
> to add the build.properties to any Pivot jar we can do it inside our Ant
> build process.
FYI, Roger's patch already added this to build.xml.
> I've just seen that inside Pivot jars (for example all jars of Pivot-2.0), in
> the manifest there is this element:
> Implementation-Version: 2.0
I actually wrote code to do this a long time ago, but it was pretty messy. The
manifest isn't on the classpath, so it's not easy to get to programmatically.
> Add API to return Version of Pivot retrieved from "build.properties"

> Would be helpful to be able to determine programmatically what the version of
> Pivot is. The simplest method is to include "build.properties" which is the
> original source of this information in the packaged .jar files and then to
> provide an API to read and parse this value into a Version structure.
