## Class DeweyDecimal

- java.lang.Object
- - org.apache.tools.ant.util.DeweyDecimal

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.lang.Comparable<DeweyDecimal>
  Direct Known Subclasses:
    DeweyDecimal

      public class DeweyDecimal
      extends java.lang.Object
      implements java.lang.Comparable<DeweyDecimal>

  Utility class to contain version numbers in "Dewey Decimal" syntax. Numbers in the "Dewey Decimal" syntax consist of positive decimal integers separated by periods ".". For example, "2.0" or "1.2.3.4.5.6.7". This allows an extensible number to be used to represent major, minor, micro, etc versions. The version number must begin with a number.
