I've done a quick grep there and indeed I don't see a regression test for Version. If you think we need one Right Now, may I suggest you write and submit one rather than asking someone else to do so? That would require either working with the existing API test driver (to be ported later), or with Maven's approach to testing (running ahead of test being moved into the main project). Note that since this value will change over time, a naive test probably can't do much more than check for self-consistency. Checking against a reference value raises the same questions of how that value is obtained, until/unless that can be driven from the same Source Of Truth as the build. Though. I suppose one could check that the semantic version is equal to or more recent than the version active when this test was last modified. Personally I'd consider that, or even the bare consistency check, adequate for first draft. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
