osgl.version

Annotation Type Versioned

@Documented
@Retention(value=RUNTIME)
@Target(value={TYPE,PACKAGE})
public @interface Versioned

Mark a class of a library or app which has .version file presented.

Usually this annotation should be used to annotate on a typical class that could be used to represent a library or application, e.g. the main entry class of an app, or a facade class of a library.

It is generally but not required that the class underline has a public static final field of type osgl.version.Version and name VERSION, for example:

package org.mrcool.swissknife;

@Versioned
public class SwissKnife {
    // keep track the version of swissknife library
    public static final Version VERSION = Version.of(SwissKnife.class);
}
