Package org.apache.wiki.api

Class Release

java.lang.Object
org.apache.wiki.api.Release
public final class Release extends Object
Contains release and version information. You may also invoke this class directly, in which case it prints out the version string. This is a handy way of checking which JSPWiki version you have - just type from a command line: 
  % java -cp JSPWiki.jar org.apache.wiki.api.Release
  2.5.38

As a historical curiosity, this is the oldest JSPWiki file. According to the CVS history, it dates from 6.7.2001, and it really hasn't changed much since.

Since:
1.0

    static boolean
    isOlderOrEqual(String version)

    • BUILD

      public static final String BUILD
      The build number/identifier. This is a String as opposed to an integer, just so that people can add other identifiers to it. The build number is incremented every time a committer checks in code, and reset when a release is made.

      If you are a person who likes to build his own releases, we recommend that you add your initials to this identifier (e.g. "13-jj", or "49-aj").

      If the build identifier is empty, it is not added.
