Is there a way to print the version of the running Apache Velocity instance in a template?

I have a weird problem while parsing a Velocity template which gives me an exception similar to this problem where the user can't create a Map. I want to make sure that I don't use an old version of Velocity. How can I print the version of the Velocity being used in my template? (Or in any other way)

Solution

  • You can check Apache Velocity version within the MANIFEST file inside velocity.jar

    Specification-Vendor: Apache Software Foundation
Implementation-Title: org.apache.velocity
Implementation-Vendor-Id: org.apache
Implementation-Vendor: Apache Software Foundation
Implementation-Version: 1.7
