The corollary of which is that if the version number is in two places, one of them will be wrong.

And this is what I've been alluding to. DRY is a principle I strongly subscribe to - Don't Repeat Yourself.


Notice also that the Lucene version number is part of the filename of the JAR: lucene-1.4.3.jar. This is good enough for my purposes of seeing which version of Lucene I'm using visually. I don't rename my JAR files.

The WebStart point is well taken though, and an area I'm increasingly involved in. Both of my last projects have involved a WebStart component, however there was no client-side Lucene so I have not dealt with the repackaging of it.
