Hi all,
I want to achieve the following: - have an easy mechanism for applications to be able to inspect their own release information at runtime... (think about: help/about dialogs or log statements showing some release info)
(the info to gather would be the kind of stuf inside the manifest.mf file)
I was thinking of the following approach: - generate just before compilation a class myproject.package.ReleaseInfo that holds the info hardcoded
before delving into it deaper I was hoping one of you could tell me: 1/ it's already done (couldn't find it) 2/ euh, a number of reasons not to get to do it ;-) 3/ sensible suggestions towards just doing it
