DO NOT REPLY [Bug 46595] New: incorrect case for Ant variable
VERSION
https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=46595
Summary: incorrect case for Ant variable VERSION
Product: Ant
Version: 1.7.1
Platform: All
URL: http://ant.apache.org/manual/CoreTasks/manifest.html
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: minor
Priority: P4
Component: Documentation
AssignedTo: notifications@ant.apache.org
ReportedBy: gthomas.cs02@gtalumni.org
The first example in the "Examples" section for the documentation of the
manifest task references the Ant variable VERSION but in lower case; it should
say ${VERSION} and not ${version}.
It might also be a good idea to add a note that VERSION can be set using
<property resource="org/apache/tools/ant/version.txt"/> and that TODAY is set
using the tstamp task.

the ${version} in the example is supposed to be the version of the JAR that
will contain the manifest, not Ant's version. You can see this when you look
at the way it is used (in Specification-Version of the generated manifest).

Indeed; serves me right for not looking closely; I think I was confused by the
second sentence in the paragraph following the example: "Creates or replaces
the file MANIFEST.MF. Note that the Built-By attribute will take the value of
the Ant property ${user.name}. The same is true for the ${version} and ${TODAY}
properties."
Thanks for clearing that up Stefan.
