How to tell the version of jar.

[Jon Strayer <jo...@gmail.com>]

I'm trying to integrate an existing project into our build cycle. 
None of the jars had version numbers in their names.  The solution I
came up with was to download md5.exe from http://www.fourmilab.ch/md5/
and use google to look up the digests it printed out.

In each case, the name of the file(s) goggle found was the version of
the jar (quite often in a Maven repository somewhere).

A very nice tip. I've taken the liberty to post it on mavenbook.org:

(I hope you don't mind)

Thanks
