Class Version

java.lang.Object

de.weltraumschaf.commons.application.Version

public final class Version
extends Object

Reads the current version from a property file.

The property files only defines one property. Import is to switch resource filtering on in your POM for that properties file.

  version=1.0.0
 

This property file may be processed by a Maven filter to provide the verison from the pom.xml:

  version=${pom.version}
 

If you save the file in src/main/resources/foo/bar/version.properties you can use the version this way:

Version version = new Version("/foo/bar/version.properties");
 version.load()
 println(version.getVersion);
 

Since:

1.0.0
