Hi all,

I am looking for a possibility to obtain the version of the used Mahout
version.

Background: I am working on a small performance measurement framework
for Mahout. To compare the results between different versions of Mahout
I need the version number of Mahout. Of course I can overhand it as an
parameter to the tests and extract it before from the used Maven
settings. But I would prefere something like Mahout.VERSION.

Bye,

Oliver

Good question - I think that may well be related to our towards-1.0-cleanup
activities: At least for the command line script there should be a --version
parameter.

@Oliver does your question refer to the command line tool or did you have a Java
API in mind?

Mainly the Java API. But the Java API could provide the version
information for the commandline tools.

Should I file a JIRA issue for this?

Actually it should be easy to achive. We could use the Maven version
information and Maven property replacement mechanism.

Sure, why not.

Would be great if you'd attach a patch that illustrates your idea.
