How do i find the xerces version number from a xercesImpl.jar file ?

I want to find out the version number of Xerces, from a xercesImpl.jar
file.

I opened the jar file, but couldn't find any info about the version.

Thanks
Kishor

Looking at the manifest will only work for Xerces 2.4.0, as this file
wasn't included with previous versions of the parser. A method that works
for 2.4.0 and older versions is invoking the main method of
org.apache.xerces.impl.Version. Also, you can get the version number
by viewing the byte code for this class in your favourite text editor/viewer.

In xercesImpl.jar/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
line 6 says
Implementation-Version: 2.4.0

Easiest way to find out what version is actually on your classpath is to
invoke one of the methods on org.apache.xerces.impl.Version
