Command-line¶

To determine the Apache BVal version and revision you are using, run the following command from a cmdline:

java -jar ./bval-core-0.1-incubating-SNAPSHOT.jar

Which should display the project version, svn revision and your local runtime environment, like:

Project: Apache BVal
Version: 0.1-incubating-SNAPSHOT
Revision: 943245

os.name: Mac OS X
os.version: 10.6.3
os.arch: x86_64

java.version: 1.6.0_17
java.vendor: Apple Inc.

java.class.path:
	./bval-core-0.1-incubating-SNAPSHOT.jar

user.dir: /Users/xxxxx/validation/apache-bval/trunk/bval-core/target

Programmatic¶

For programmatic access, take a look at the public getters in:

bval-core/src/main/java/org/apache/bval/util/BValVersion.java

including the following, which will return the strings above:

getName() == "Apache BVal"
getVersion() == "0.1-incubating-SNAPSHOT"
getRevision() == "943245"
