Java equivalent of .NET's Version class?

Question

Is there a Java equivalent of .NET's System.Version class? How do I say this in Java?

Version myVersion = new Version(2, 1);

Answer 1

Here's a class from OSGi: http://www.osgi.org/javadoc/r4v43/core/org/osgi/framework/Version.html

And the corresponding source: http://www.docjar.com/html/api/org/osgi/framework/Version.java.html

Answer 2

To get a system/modules version e.g. String.class.getPackage().getImplementationVersion()

If you want to specify your own version, create a Manifest.txt file to be added to your jar-file as in this tutorial

See also the javadoc for Package
