Class Version


  • public class Version
    extends java.lang.Object
    Administrative class to keep track of the version number of the Xalan release.

    This class implements the upcoming standard of having org.apache.project-name.Version.getVersion() be a standard way to get version information. This class will replace the older org.apache.xalan.processor.Version class.

    See also: org/apache/xalan/res/XSLTInfo.properties for information about the version of the XSLT spec we support.
