Steve Ebersole commented on HHH-1873:
-------------------------------------
That's what the Java compiler does in terms of static fields.
Even adding a method on Environment will *not* suffice if by that you mean something
like:
public static String getVersion() {
return VERSION;
}
My (limited) testing showed that compilers were smart enough to inline the value of
VERSION into the caller of getVersion() in these cases as well.
AFAIK, the only real option around that here is to have a non-static definition of the
version, the question being from where to make that available.
Of course in the interim you ca n use reflection to get this value which would be safe
from compiler inlining...
Query the hibernate version through the API
-------------------------------------------
Key: HHH-1873
URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-1873
Project: Hibernate Core
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: core
Reporter: Mark Grand
Priority: Minor
Original Estimate: 2 hours
Remaining Estimate: 2 hours
I am building a tool that will work with hibernate. Though this tool will be used with
hibernate, I want it to work with whatever version of hibernate my users select. Making
this work with future versions of hibernate will be eaiser if there is something in the
API that says what the version of hibernate is.
