- All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable
,Comparable<Version>
A class that represents a Version in the Omni Version format. A Version can be thought of as an
array of comparable elements and an optional pad value. The pad value is used when comparing
two versions with a different number of segments.
The Omni Version can convert almost any version into a raw format that it uses for comparisons.
This enables a unified order of all such versions and solves problems that arise when the
version semantics are different. A good example is the OSGi version versus the version used in Maven.
The lack of qualifier in the OSGi version implies that the qualifier is an empty string. So a version
without a qualifier is the smallest of all other versions with the same major,minor,micro number.
With Maven semantics, it's the opposite. If the qualifier is removed, the resulting version is
considered higher then all other versions with the same major, minor, and micro number. The
Omni version solves this by using different raw representations of the OSGi and Maven versions.
The Omni version addresses a lot of other issues as well, such as reordering of the elements
or treating some parts of a version as irrelevant when comparing.
The class is signature compatible with
Version
but attempts
to use it as such might render a UnsupportedOperationException
in case the
raw vector holds incompatible values. The method isOSGiCompatible()
can be used
to test.- Since:
- 2.0

Method Details
-
compile
Compile a version format string into a compiled format..- Parameters:
format
- The format to compile.- Returns:
- The compiled format
- Throws:
VersionFormatException
- If the format could not be compiled
-
create
Parses a version identifier from the specified string.Note that this method performs a non thread-safe object pooling. Instances are stored in a weak cache, i.e. for multiple calls with the same input it is likely but not guaranteed that the same instance is retrieved. Same holds for concurrent access on this method. Clients must not assume to get the same instance for subsequent calls.
- Parameters:
version
- String representation of the version identifier. Leading and trailing whitespace will be ignored.- Returns:
- A
Version
object representing the version identifier ornull
ifversion
isnull
or an empty string. - Throws:
IllegalArgumentException
- Ifversion
is improperly formatted.
-
createOSGi
Creates an OSGi version identifier from the specified numerical components.The qualifier is set to the empty string.
- Parameters:
major
- Major component of the version identifier.minor
- Minor component of the version identifier.micro
- Micro component of the version identifier.- Throws:
IllegalArgumentException
- If the numerical components are negative.
-
createOSGi
Creates an OSGi version identifier from the specified components.- Parameters:
major
- Major component of the version identifier.minor
- Minor component of the version identifier.micro
- Micro component of the version identifier.qualifier
- Qualifier component of the version identifier. Ifnull
is specified, then the qualifier will be set to the empty string.- Throws:
IllegalArgumentException
- If the numerical components are negative or the qualifier string is invalid.
-
parseVersion
Parses a version identifier from the specified string. This method is for backward compatibility with OSGi and will return the OSGi "0.0.0" version when the provided string is empty ornull
.- Parameters:
version
- String representation of the version identifier. Leading and trailing whitespace will be ignored.- Returns:
- A
Version
object representing the version identifier. Ifversion
isnull
or the empty string then the OSGiemptyVersion
will be returned. - Throws:
IllegalArgumentException
- Ifversion
is improperly formatted.- See Also:
-
getFormat
Returns the optional format. -
getOriginal
Returns theoriginal
part of the string for this version ornull
if no such part was provided when the version was created. An OSGi type version will always return the OSGi string representation.- Returns:
- The
original
part of the version string ornull
if that part was missing.
-
getPad
Returns the pad value used when comparing this versions to versions that has a larger number of segments- Returns:
- The pad value or
null
if not set.
-
getSegment
An element from the raw vector representation of this version.- Parameters:
index
- The zero based index of the desired element- Returns:
- An element from the raw vector
-
getSegmentCount
public abstract int getSegmentCount()Returns the number of elements in the raw vector representation of this version.- Returns:
- The number of elements in the raw vector.
-
isOSGiCompatible
public abstract boolean isOSGiCompatible()Checks if this version is in compliance with the OSGi version spec.- Returns:
- A flag indicating whether the version is OSGi compatible or not.
