Method Summary

All Methods Static Methods Instance Methods Concrete Methods
Modifier and Type	Method and Description
`java.lang.String`	`getVersion()` Returns the real version this constant represents.
`boolean`	`isNewerThan(EclipseLinkVersion version)` Determines whether this constant represents a version that is newer than the given version.
`boolean`	`isNewerThanOrEqual(EclipseLinkVersion version)` Determines whether this constant represents a version that is newer than the given version or if it's the same version.
`boolean`	`isOlderThan(EclipseLinkVersion version)` Determines whether this constant represents a version that is older than the given version.
`boolean`	`isOlderThanOrEqual(EclipseLinkVersion version)` Determines whether this constant represents a version that is older than the given version or if it's the same version.
`EclipseLinkVersion`	`toCurrentVersion()` Converts the current constant to one of the known versions, this means if the constant is `DEFAULT_VERSION`, then it will be converted into the actual constant representing that version.
`java.lang.String`	`toString()`
`static EclipseLinkVersion`	`value(java.lang.String value)` Retrieves the enumeration constant for the given value.
`static EclipseLinkVersion`	`valueOf(java.lang.String name)` Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name.
`static EclipseLinkVersion[]`	`values()` Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared.
`static EclipseLinkVersion[]`	`versions()` Returns the list of `EclipseLinkVersion` excluding `DEFAULT_VERSION`.

- Method Detail
  - values
```
public static EclipseLinkVersion[] values()
```
    Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:
```
for (EclipseLinkVersion c : EclipseLinkVersion.values())
    System.out.println(c);
```
    Returns:
    
    an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared
  - valueOf
```
public static EclipseLinkVersion valueOf(java.lang.String name)
```
    Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
    
    Parameters:
    
    name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
    
    Returns:
    
    the enum constant with the specified name
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
    
    java.lang.NullPointerException - if the argument is null
  - value
```
public static EclipseLinkVersion value(java.lang.String value)
```
    Retrieves the enumeration constant for the given value. If the value is not known, then DEFAULT_VERSION will be returned.
    
    Parameters:
    
    value - The value to retrieve its constant version
    
    Returns:
    
    The constant version of the given value
  - versions
```
public static EclipseLinkVersion[] versions()
```
    Returns the list of EclipseLinkVersion excluding DEFAULT_VERSION.
    
    Returns:
    
    The list of unique constants
  - getVersion
```
public java.lang.String getVersion()
```
    Returns the real version this constant represents.
    
    Returns:
    
    The string value of the version
  - isNewerThan
```
public boolean isNewerThan(EclipseLinkVersion version)
```
    Determines whether this constant represents a version that is newer than the given version.
    
    Parameters:
    
    version - The constant to verify if it's representing a version that is older than this one
    
    Returns:
    
    true if this constant represents a newer version and the given constant represents a version that is older; false if the given constant represents a newer and this constant represents an older version
  - isNewerThanOrEqual
```
public boolean isNewerThanOrEqual(EclipseLinkVersion version)
```
    Determines whether this constant represents a version that is newer than the given version or if it's the same version.
    
    Parameters:
    
    version - The constant to verify if it's representing a version that is older than this one or if it's the same than this one
    
    Returns:
    
    true if this constant represents a newer version and the given constant represents a version that is older or if it's the same constant; false if the given constant represents a newer and this constant represents an older version
  - isOlderThan
```
public boolean isOlderThan(EclipseLinkVersion version)
```
    Determines whether this constant represents a version that is older than the given version.
    
    Parameters:
    
    version - The constant to verify if it's representing a version that is more recent than this one
    
    Returns:
    
    true if this constant represents an earlier version and the given constant represents a version that is more recent; false if the given constant represents an earlier version and this constant represents a more recent version
  - isOlderThanOrEqual
```
public boolean isOlderThanOrEqual(EclipseLinkVersion version)
```
    Determines whether this constant represents a version that is older than the given version or if it's the same version.
    
    Parameters:
    
    version - The constant to verify if it's representing a version that is more recent than this one or if it's the same than this one
    
    Returns:
    
    true if this constant represents an earlier version and the given constant represents a version that is more recent or if it's the same constant; false if the given constant represents an earlier version and this constant represents a more recent version
  - toCurrentVersion
```
public EclipseLinkVersion toCurrentVersion()
```
    Converts the current constant to one of the known versions, this means if the constant is DEFAULT_VERSION, then it will be converted into the actual constant representing that version.
    
    Returns:
    
    Either this same constant or the actual version constant
  - toString
```
public java.lang.String toString()
```
    Overrides:
    
    toString in class java.lang.Enum<EclipseLinkVersion>
