[jira] [Issue Comment Edited] (MAHOUT-875) Allow to obtaint Mahout version information through the Java API

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAHOUT-875?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13153469#comment-13153469 ]

That is right. I use the usual ways Maven processes resources and substitutes parameters. Currently {{MahoutVersion.java}} contains only a placeholder like {{public final static String VERSION = "${project.version}";}}. Maven will replace it by the version value in the POM.

Of cource, I can apply this solution also to the {{./bin/mahout}} script. Would it be engough to add support for an option {{--version}} which forces the script to output a string like {{Apache Mahout xyz}}?

> It would be nice to be able to obtain the used Mahout version through the Java API. This enables users to output the version information for debugging purposes or simple to document which Mahout version is used.
