Windows Command Line to get jenkins verion

[develop...@gmail.com]

How do you get the current jenkins version from command line windows when running it via "java -jar jenkins.war"?

Thank you!

Hi Daniel, i tried that already.

I have a jenkins.war, no jenkins-cli.jar

When i try to do it with the .war i get a java invocation error.

Oops. My bad.

If you don't want to start Jenkins to see what version jenkins.war is (defining a throwaway JENKINS_HOME), you can just open the war file (zip file format) and look at the contents of the text file META-INF/MANIFEST.MF.

If Jenkins is running, view its index page. It contains the Jenkins version at the bottom right (when viewed), or as 'data-version' attribute on the `body` tag (when parsing the DOM).

Or you can always download the jenkins-cli.jar from your instance, and run it against that instance to determine its version.
