Short version of the ant version string?
Hi,
As part of my work on issue 55489, "Allow specifying of alternative user
agent for the 'get' task", I need to be able to include the Ant version
string in the user-agent (Apache Ant/0.0), but using the following:
getProject().getProperty(MagicNames.ANT_VERSION)
or
Main.getVersion()
both returning a long version string of them form:
"Apache Ant(TM) version 1.9.3alpha compiled on November 22 2013"
From what I can see there is no method to get a 'short' version, unless
I am not looking in the right place.
If there isn't already something, would adding a Main.getShortVersion() be
acceptable?
Regards
Andre

You may want to look at the <antversion> Task which strips the alpha
designators and all that.

Hello Andre,
yes, adding a Main.getShortVersion() would be acceptable.
are you after a version string containing only digits and dots like what AntVersion.getVersion() is computing ?
The version from version.txt sometimes has an alphabetic suffix like "1.7.0beta" or "1.9.0alpha" or "1.9.0rc1".
Regards,
Antoine
