Determine the JDK Version Number : OS « Development « Java Tutorial






/** Determine the JDK Version Number
 *
 * There is a human readible JDK version number available as a Java property. The property name is called "java.version".
 * Unfortunately it is complicated to parse it mechanically. A somewhat better choice is the Java property called
 * "java.class.version". The property value can be converted to a floating pointer value. JDK 1.1 implies 45.3. JDK 1.2
 * implies 46.0. JDK 1.3 implies 47.0. JDK 1.4 implies 48.0.
 * 
 * java.class.version property value
 * <ul>
 * <li> JDK 1.1 = 45.3
 * <li> JDK 1.2 = 46.0
 * <li> JDK 1.3 = 47.0
 * <li> JDK 1.4 = 48.0
 * </ul>
