[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Commented: (HHH-1873) Query the hibernate version through the API

[Ben Groeneveld (JIRA)]

    [ http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-1873?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=32964#action_32964 ] 

Ben Groeneveld commented on HHH-1873:
-------------------------------------

This is not sufficient; a method to obtain version is required.  The public static final org.hibernate.cfg.Environment.VERSION is a compile-time constant and will be inlined into your class during compilation and cannot be used to adequately test for the Hibernate version being used at runtime.  Please provide a method in the Environment class to access the Hibernate version at runtime.

> 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.
