Method Detail

### getJavaVersion

    public static java.lang.String getJavaVersion()

  Returns the version of Java this class is running under.

  Returns:
    the version of Java as a String, e.g. "1.1"

### getJavaVersionNumber

    public static int getJavaVersionNumber()

  Returns the version of Java this class is running under. This number can be used for comparisions; it will always be

  Returns:
    the version of Java as a number 10x the major/minor, e.g Java1.5 has a value of 15

### isJavaVersion

    public static boolean isJavaVersion(java.lang.String version)

  Compares the current Java version to the passed in String - assumes the argument is one of the constants defined in this class. Note that Ant now requires JDK 1.2+ so `JAVA_1_0` and `JAVA_1_1` need no longer be tested for.

  Parameters:
    `version` - the version to check against the current version.
  Returns:
    true if the version of Java is the same as the given version.
  Since:
    Ant 1.5

### isAtLeastJavaVersion

    public static boolean isAtLeastJavaVersion(java.lang.String version)

  Compares the current Java version to the passed in String - assumes the argument is one of the constants defined in this class. Note that Ant now requires JDK 1.2+ so `JAVA_1_0` and `JAVA_1_1` need no longer be tested for.

  Parameters:
    `version` - the version to check against the current version.
  Returns:
    true if the version of Java is the same or higher than the given version.
  Since:
    Ant 1.7

### isKaffe

    public static boolean isKaffe()

  Checks whether the current Java VM is Kaffe.

  Returns:
    true if the current Java VM is Kaffe.
  Since:
    Ant 1.6.3
  See Also:
    http://www.kaffe.org/

### getJreExecutable

    public static java.lang.String getJreExecutable(java.lang.String command)

  Finds an executable that is part of a JRE installation based on the java.home system property.

  `java`, `keytool`, `policytool`, `orbd`, `rmid`, `rmiregistry`, `servertool` and `tnameserv` are JRE executables on Sun based JRE's.

  You typically find them in `JAVA_HOME/jre/bin` if `JAVA_HOME` points to your JDK installation. JDK < 1.2 has them in the same directory as the JDK executables.

  Parameters:
    `command` - the java executable to find.
  Returns:
    the path to the command.
  Since:
    Ant 1.5

### getJdkExecutable

    public static java.lang.String getJdkExecutable(java.lang.String command)

  Finds an executable that is part of a JDK installation based on the java.home system property.

  You typically find them in `JAVA_HOME/bin` if `JAVA_HOME` points to your JDK installation.

  Parameters:
    `command` - the java executable to find.
  Returns:
    the path to the command.
  Since:
    Ant 1.5

### getJrePackageTestCases

    public static java.util.Vector getJrePackageTestCases()

  Testing helper method; kept here for unification of changes.

  Returns:
    a list of test classes depending on the java version.

### getJrePackages

    public static java.util.Vector getJrePackages()

  get a vector of strings of packages built into that platforms runtime jar(s)

  Returns:
    list of packages.

### createVmsJavaOptionFile

    public static java.io.File createVmsJavaOptionFile(java.lang.String[] cmd)
                                                throws java.io.IOException

  Writes the command into a temporary DCL script and returns the corresponding File object. It is the job of the caller to delete the file on exit.

  Parameters:
    `cmd` - the command.
  Returns:
    the file containing the command.
  Throws:
    `java.io.IOException` - if there is an error writing to the file.

### getJavaHome

    public static java.lang.String getJavaHome()

  Return the value of ${java.home}

  Returns:
    the java home value.
