Hi Michael,

We'll consider adding this new API in the
ro.sync.exml.workspace.api.WorkspaceUtilities interface for a new version.

But in the meantime you can call the static method:

ro.sync.util.Resource.getBuildNumber()

The method is not obfuscated in our code and it should return the
application's build number.

Regards,
Radu

A workspace plugin can obtain the version string associated with the
oXygen Editor/Author/Developer that it is being run in by using the
getVersion method of the StandalonePluginWorkspace object that is
provided to it. It would be useful if we could also obtain the build
number (and possibly the release date)* from within a plugin, so that
its behaviour can be adjusted depending on the build-number (or release
date).

*The build numbers alone are probably fine, as they are likely to be
monotonically increasing, so we can simply test to see if the current
build number is greater than a specified build number to determine if it
is later release.

Example: If a feature of a plugin is known to work with some, but not
all patch releases of a given oXygen release, then it would be possible
to tailor the behaviour of the plugin to:
(1) switch off the feature for oXygen patch releases that it is known
not to work in;
(2) let the user know why a given feature is not available; and potentially
(3) let the user know that in order to get access to the feature they
need to get the latest version of say the '15.2' version of oXygen.

Best regards,
Anthony.
