Reporting the Version

Question

Is there a way to retrieve the Version/Date of the edtFTPj/SSL library at runtime?

Thanks,
Steve

No, but it would be very useful. I'll request that this feature be added - e.g. a method such as getVersion(). We'll try to get this added to 1.1.0 which is due out soon - if you have bought 1.0.x when you see the announcement ask for a free upgrade.

If you must have it now, there is information in the jar's manifest which could be what you need - it is possible to open a manifest and read the properties at runtime.

See for example

I can confirm that

public static int[] getVersion()

will be available in edtFTPj 1.4.0 (the next release)

and also in edtFTPj/SSL 1.1.0 (next release, due out next week.

The array returned is {major, middle, minor} version numbers.

Oh, and there's also

public static String getBuildTimestamp()

which returns the build timestamp as a string in d-MMM-yyyy HH:mm:ss z format
