[jira] [Issue Comment Edited] (TIKA-761) Provide version number by
CLI argument -V
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-761?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13134140#comment-13134140 ]

bq. +1 Looks good.
thanks!
bq. As a possible improvement, as Nick noted, you could read the version number from /META-INF/MANIFEST.MF or from /META-INF/maven/org.apache.tika/tika-app/pom.properties so we don't need to set up a custom properties file for this.
It seems - from what I read - these are only available after building the app, which would be too late( ? )
bq. Also, it would be cool if that information could be made available also through the Java API in tika-core. For example the toString() method of the Tika facade class could return something like "Apache Tika x.y", and tika-app --version would simply output that string.
I'll give it a try.
bq. -1 for backwards compatibility reasons.
fine with me, I just had the impression that -v was more common

> I'd like to get the Apache Tika version number through CLI argument -V or --version. The patch is trivial and basically finished. The only thing missing (because Java is not my native programming language) is the actual version number. Any hints where I can get that from?
