All Implemented Interfaces:

Comparable<Version>

public class Version
extends Object

 micro ::= [0-9]+
 nano  ::= [0-9]+

Constructor Detail

Version

public Version(String version)

Created a version identifier from the specified string.

Parameters:

version - String representation of the version identifier.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - If version is improperly formatted.

Method Detail

toString

public String toString()

Returns the original string representation of this version identifier.

Overrides:

toString in class Object

Returns:

The original string representation of this version identifier.

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object

equals

public boolean equals(Object object)

Compares this Version object to another object.

A version is considered to be equal to another version if all the parts are equal.

Overrides:

equals in class Object

Parameters:

object - The Version object to be compared.

Returns:

true if the two objects are equal.

compareTo

public int compareTo(Version object)

Compares this Version object to another object.

The comparison considers each of the parts (major, minor, micro, nano) in turn, comparing like with like. At any point the comparison is not equal, a result is known.

Specified by:

compareTo in interface Comparable<Version>

Parameters:

object - The Version object to be compared.

Returns:

A negative integer, zero, or a positive integer if this object is less than, equal to, or greater than the specified Version object.

Throws:

ClassCastException - If the specified object is not a Version.
