[jboss-dev] Determining JBoss AS server version by examining install

[Tim Fox]

I need to determine from an ant script whether the JBoss AS version 
installed in a particular directory is JBoss AS 4.2.0 or later.

Initially I thought I could just look at the JBOSS_HOME env entry, but 
the user might have installed it in a different directory other than the 
default jboss-4.2.0.GA directory.

Can anyone think of a good/recommended way to do this? Is there a file 
somewhere in the distro I can parse?
