I suggest adding more manifest information to all of the JayBird JAR
files that indicate the version number. This helps when sorting
through multiple JAR releases, supporting customers, and is simply
more professional. This is very easy to accomplish considering you
are using Ant as your build tool (just see Ant's docs).
Commonly the following entries should be in the manifest file for
versioning and customer information:
Specification-Version: "THE MAJOR VERSION NUMBER"
Specification-Vendor: "GENERAL COMPANY NAME"
Implementation-Version: "THE MAJOR VERSION AND BUILD NUMBER"
Implementation-Vendor: "DETAILED COMPANY NAME"
for example:
Specification-Version: "1.5.0"
Specification-Vendor: "JayBird Open Source"
Implementation-Version: "1.5.0.010"
Implementation-Vendor: "JayBird Open Source - Roman Rokytskyy"
Thanks!
