[Version management] author extensions

[Tanking]

hello,

If it does not already exit, would it be possible to have a method in the author extension framework to query which version of oxygen is currently used (i.e.: 11, 9.1, 10.2...).

This would allow us to create multi version frameworks without having to check each time if the new class/functions exists by reflexion.

Otherwise, if you have a cross platform way of checking the version (i.e.: not looking up the registry or the oxygen.exe), that would solve the problem too.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I added your request to our internal issues list.
It will probably get set in a system property which can be queried from the author extensions.
This thread will be updated when it gets implemented.

Hi,

In Oxygen 12 you will be able to get our product's version from the extensions by calling:

Code: Select all

authorAccess.getWorkspaceAccess().getVersion()
