How do I get versioning information about a package?
The following example creates a JAR file containing one class in the package com.esus.test with extra versioning information in the manifest file. The Main program prints out this info.

com/esus/test/TestClass.java:

MANIFEST.MF:

This code sample is only viewable to esus.com members

Note that you can specify this versioning information not only on package level (com/esus/test) but also on the top of the file. If no version information is found about a specific package, this general version information is returned.

To create this JAR file:
