Hi there,

does anyone have any ideas on how I can "version" the java classes I write?
If I am at a customer site it is helpful to know exactly which versions of
software they are using.

I have thought about adding some sort of version string to each class file,
eg.
private final String "PKVersion: R01.00"
or something like that, and then searching the file to find "PKVersion:".

Or maybe, each class could implement a version interface, and provide a
method like getVersion(), which returned a version number - so I'd need some
sort of utility to load the class and obtain the version.

Any help and ideas is appreciated.

Thanks,
Peter.
