Ant Version
Hi, I recently made a code contribution and had the task get the version from the Main class. I appreciate this probably want the best approach and I am trying to consider options going forward. I had looked at the ant.version property, but the is only available in the project scope and also limited to the 'long' version. Some possibilities I am thinking of going forward: - Version class - AntRuntime class Does anyone else have suggestions or preferences as to the best way going forward? André-John Sent from my phone.

Re: Ant Version
Are you looking for compatibility with the version? I.e., this task will work on versions = n? A commonly taken approach there is to use the presence of some particular class introduced in the target version, rather than fiddling with version numbers per se.

Hi, This was the Get Task, whereby I was getting the ant version for use in the user-agent response. I am using the value uninterpreted. André-John Sent from my phone. Envoyé depuis mon téléphone.

Re: Ant Version
Looks like Main.getAntVersion() is your friend.

Re: Ant Version
It is what I used and how the patch was accepted, but since I was told it wasn't ideal I wanted to see if there were ways to deal with this going forward. André-John Sent from my phone.

Do you have a link to that discussion? I'd be interested to catch up the context here.

It was me who said it wasn't ideal. My concern is IDE integration which might start Ant differently and bypass Main so the static methods on Main don't work properly. Andre-John's contribution made me look at the implementation again and since the methods are static and only rely on ther version.txt file being present, I no longer see a problem. An implementation outside of Main wouldn't look any different and I highly doubt an IDE integration would remove the Main class completely.
