How to check j2ee version?

Our build system depends on version 1.2 of j2ee.jar 
being used.  How can I check the version of j2ee.jar 
from Ant?

Thanks

Thanks Robert.  

It was actually the case in my circumstance that we needed 
to make sure that j2ee 1.2 is used and not a *later* version.  
So, I wound up implementing a check for 
javax.servlet.ServletContextEvent, which was introduced in 1.3

I don't know if there is a class in v1.2 that is not in the previous 
versions but if there is you can use the available tag to set a property 
only if that class is available e.g.

<!-- set the j2ee version -->
<target name="set-j2ee-version">
   <available property="j2ee1.2+" classname="unique.1.2+.j2ee.class" />
</target>

<!-- make sure j2ee version is at least 1.2 -->
<target name="ensure-j2ee" depends="set-j2ee-version" unless="j2ee1.2+">
   <fail message="Can only build if running with J2EE 1.2+"/>
</target>
