Gwt Version Strategy

[Brandon Donnelson]

Are there other gwt version options?

This depends on gwt-dev, would be nice to get this from gwt-user.

Class<?> about = cl.loadClass("com.google.gwt.dev.About");

Method method = about.getMethod("getGwtVersionNum");

String versionStr = (String) method.invoke(null);

Thanks,

Brandon

We could store version information in any jar manifest file using Implementation-* attributes:

Manifest-Version: 1.0

Ant-Version: Apache Ant 1.8.0

Created-By: 1.6.0_20-b02 (Sun Microsystems Inc.)

Implementation-Title: GWT User library / GWT Dev library / Elemental / ... / ....

Implementation-Version: 2.7.0

Implementation-Vendor: gwtproject.org

This can then be read in Java using classFromJar.getPackage().getImplementation[Title | Version | Vendor](). If all GWT jars would have that information you can choose whatever jar you like most.

Good idea. :)
