Method Summary

Version	parseVersion(java.lang.String version) Parses the specified version string, for example "1.0".
VersionConstraint	parseVersionConstraint(java.lang.String constraint) Parses the specified version constraint specification, for example "1.0" or "[1.0,2.0),(2.0,)".
VersionRange	parseVersionRange(java.lang.String range) Parses the specified version range specification, for example "[1.0,2.0)".

Method Detail

parseVersion

Version parseVersion(java.lang.String version)
                     throws InvalidVersionSpecificationException

Parses the specified version string, for example "1.0".

Parameters:

version - The version string to parse, must not be null.

Returns:

The parsed version, never null.

Throws:

InvalidVersionSpecificationException - If the string violates the syntax rules of this scheme.

parseVersionRange

VersionRange parseVersionRange(java.lang.String range)
                               throws InvalidVersionSpecificationException

Parses the specified version range specification, for example "[1.0,2.0)".

Parameters:

range - The range specification to parse, must not be null.

Returns:

The parsed version range, never null.

Throws:

InvalidVersionSpecificationException - If the range specification violates the syntax rules of this scheme.

parseVersionConstraint

VersionConstraint parseVersionConstraint(java.lang.String constraint)
                                         throws InvalidVersionSpecificationException

Parses the specified version constraint specification, for example "1.0" or "[1.0,2.0),(2.0,)".

Parameters:

constraint - The constraint specification to parse, must not be null.

Returns:

The parsed version constraint, never null.

Throws:

InvalidVersionSpecificationException - If the constraint specification violates the syntax rules of this scheme.
