Package de.caff.version Description

This package provides semantic versioning for modules.

de.caff code is divided into lots of modules. With the help of the classes in this package it is possible to have access to the semantic versions of the modules contained in an application during runtime. This is done via the Java service loader mechanism. Classes which implement ModuleVersionService and which are published as services (i.e. there are dedicated service entries in the jar containing the class) can automatically be retrieved at runtime.

The interface ModuleVersionService provides static accessors methods for retrieving the registered services.

Helper class ModuleVersionTool provides static helper method to create Java code implementing the service.
