Direct Known Subclasses:
CodeVersion
public class Version extends Object implements Serializable, Comparable<Version>
Simple class that holds a version identifier.

A version may consist three separate parts:

  • A major version Major version numbers are usually increased when substantial new functionality is added, or when a new version is not backward compatible with the previous.
  • A minor version The minor version is used to identify the revision of a certain product. Usually the minor version get updated when new Functionality is added, but the old functionality remains compatible with the previous version.
  • The patch version The patch version may hold any string, and is usually used to indicate a trivial change to the previous version. Patch versions get updated when small changes or bug fixes occur that have no impact on compatibility.
