[jdom-interest] Determining which version of JDOM from command line

[Jason Hunter]

Yeah, that's the problem with version reporting schemes: they're never
there in the first version.

The alternative is to compare the class list with the CHANGES.txt file
list of when classes were added/removed.  You can even automate that.  I
did that for servlets in com.oreilly.servlet.VersionDetector so my
servlets can know the level of their server by looking for
classes/methods in their environment.
