```
public class Version
extends java.lang.Object
```
Version utility.

This class provides several ways to determine version information for some particular codebase. The version may have a number of components: svnVersion, earliestRevision, latestRevision, and versionDate; see which. Any component(s) which cannot be determined are set to the value UNKNOWN.

The version info can either be taken from a version file which is read as a resouce associated with a particular version class, or it can be read from an SVN or CVS Id keyword expansion stored in a static field (SVN_ID_FIELD or CVS_ID_FIELD) of the version class.

If a version file is specified, or if DEFAULT_VERSION_FILE is implied, and the file is not present or there was a problem reading it then the version fields are left UNKNOWN. Only in the case that the version file is explicitly specified as null is any attempt made to read the version info from an Id keyword field.

The format of the version file is an svn ID string in the format produced by the standard svnversion utility, followed by whitespace, followed by a date string, followed by whitespace. Everything is optional and elements that are not present will be left as UNKNOWN. The super-ninja makefile includes targets to auto-generate version files in this format.

Using a version file is generally better than relying on an Id keyword expansion, as the file can be generated to reflect the overall version of an entire svn tree, whereas the Id keyword only gives the version for that particular class.

  - className
```
public final java.lang.String className
```
    The name of the class for which versioning was computed.
    
    In the case that the version info was read from a version file, this class was used as the reference to acquire the file as a resource.
    
    In the case that the version info was read from a class field containing an SVN or CVS Id keyword expansion, this class was searched for the field.
  - versionFileName
```
public final java.lang.String versionFileName
```
    The name of the file from which version info was read or null if version info was parsed from an SVN or CVS Id keyword expansion.
- Constructor Detail
  - Version
```
public Version(java.lang.Class clazz,
       java.lang.String versionFileName)
```
    Parse version info.
    
    Specifying versionFileName other than null triggers version parsing from file. If null version info is parsed from SVN_ID_FIELD or CVS_ID_FIELD, if present.
    
    Parameters:
    clazz - see className, not null
    versionFileName - see versionFileName
  - Version
```
public Version(java.lang.Class clazz)
```
    Covers Version(Class, String), uses DEFAULT_VERSION_FILE.
  - Version
```
public Version(java.lang.String versionFileName)
```
    Covers Version(Class, String), uses this class.
  - Version
```
public Version()
```
    Covers Version(Class, String), uses this class and DEFAULT_VERSION_FILE.
