easily accessible jar date

Show all headers | View raw

When my program is running, it wants to know the timestamp of when any
of the classes last changed.

I might be running it in a debugger in IntelliJ, as separate classes,
in a jar, or in a Jet exe.

If the program is distributed, I don't know where they might put the
pieces.

So I would like it if a timestamp were automatically created and
included as a resource.

Are their easy ways of pulling this off, perhaps with ANT, or do I
need to write some utility?

All I want to do is invalidate  cache entries when the program runs if
the software changes.
