I just experienced a phenomenon that I don't understand. I run the node on a WinXP box and use the wrapper. There is a freenet.jar in the node directory. The node was 1012. Then I updated SVN and got the source for 1014. I added some code changes that send a new message if the priority of a persistent request changes. I built a freenet.jar and replaced the freenet.jar in the node directory, and started the node. Surprise: the displayed node version was still 1012, without @custom@! My new message was not sent, so this seemed to be a true, unchanged 1012. After trying this and that, I updated the node using update.cmd (there was still no update message from the node). I started the node and it showed 1014, as expected. Then, I replaced the freenet.jar with my own version (same freenet.jar as before) and started the node. Voila, the version was 1014 @custom@ and my own fcp message was sent!!!
So what happened there? What magic does the wrapper do, where did it get the 1012 from when I replaced the freenet.jar with 1014 @custom@?
