Extracting Java Version via CMD


Recommended Posts

Hey,

I'm currently working on migrating versions of Java to the latest build and am currently trying to do some custom reporting back to my Inventory Server; currently on OS X I'm running a shell script which looks like this:


/Library/Internet\ Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin/Contents/Home/bin/java -version 2>&1 | grep "java version" | awk '{print $3}' | sed -e "s/\"//g"

[/CODE]

This exports code which looks like this:

So what I need is a Batch Script which will do the exact same on Windows. Any ideas?

Just in case anybody in the future needs this:


@echo off
setlocal

set VERSION6="1.6.0_21"
for /f "tokens=3" %%g in ('java -version 2^>^&1 ^| findstr /i "version"') do (
set JAVAVER=%%g
)
set JAVAVER=%JAVAVER:"=%
@echo %JAVAVER%
endlocal
@exit %JAVAVER%
[/CODE]

    • Yeah, I totally get your point, which is possible it could happen. I just hope there is a few people around him who are similar to where if they took over things would run pretty much the same. if not, then yeah, it could start to decline rapidly etc. but I figure something that's been around for a longer period of time with a decent backing, and probably more users than most Linux distro's (which I would 'imagine' Mint is one of the more used Linux desktop distro's by volume of people who use it), is less likely to just disappear. but like you said, nothing is guaranteed. but I do think you are probably right in that Clem is probably the core of what keeps Mint, Mint. I like how it tends to stay pretty much the same with some slight tweaks here and there (but is largely the same) instead of that crap some people go for with change for the sake of change trying to create a overly fancy interface and other unnecessary stuff etc. I also feel Mint keeps a nice balance of things out-of-the-box where it's not too bloated, nor too striped down. p.s. but I see Mint as a better Ubuntu basically. but I get your point like if it was more of a really serious choice of needing a 'safe bet' to use long term, then yeah something like official Ubuntu would be one of the better choices for sure given what you said with it being backed by an actual company which makes it a safer bet than Mint which is smaller and 'could' potentially be more fragile.
    • It’s in development so hopefully it’s improved upon before release.
    • For the 10th iteration they could have bothered with some design changes rather than just carrying over the 9's
    • So this requires hardware to be setup in the area you want to listen to music in? And it requires hardware for each user? So useless for me when I'm out walking my dog? Or when I'm at the gym and want to listen to my podcasts rather than the music the gym is broadcasting? Heck, will it even work in my own home and allow me to walk around from room to room, or even within a room? Yeah, these won't be replacing headphones anytime soon.
