Andy:
Sadly, if the author doesn't put the API version in the jar's manifest file or it's not built into the name of the jar itself you're not going to have a good chance at discerning the version. Your mileage may vary; however, these are generally the only two ways of which I'm aware. -jason -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, July 18, 2006 9:33 AM To: users@maven.apache.org Subject: Identifying versions of jar files Hi, Can anyone tell me how to accurately identify the version of a particular jar file ? I have been provided with a number of jars and need to place them in to a maven 2 repo, but want to ensure I get the correct version number. TIA Andy
