Finding out JRE version

I don't know, how to make a request for a new feature to JRE, but I have a suggestion for a very small enhancement: every now and then I need to check the version of the current default JRE in my machine, e.g. to check the current build of u10. So I open a command prompt and type "java -version". But to me requiring to type that extra option "-version" is a bit annoying !?
When I just say "java" I get a whole lot of information, how to use java launcher, but NOT THE VERSION NUMBER of the JRE ?!?
So, why not just add also the version information to the help screen ?
Now, what should I do to get this idea forward ? Or, even better, could someone here take it forward ...
;-)

SQL> select * from v$version;

Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.4.0 - 64bit Production
If it is 32 bit, it is not mentioned.

  • How to find out which version of AIR is installed on Linux

    Hi,
    How do I find out which version of the Adobe AIR runtime I have installed on my Ubuntu system?
    Please don't tell me to look at this article in the Knowledge Base, since the method reported there does not work. The file /opt/Adobe AIR/Versions/1.0/Resources/ApolloVersion does not exist.
    thanks
    m.

    You could find the version of Adobe AIR installed on your system using the commandline as well:
    dpkg -s adobeair (on Debian systems like Ubuntu)
    rpm -q adobeair (on RPM based systems like Fedora and Opensuse)

    Thanks

    you can get the Minipack version of the products by querying fnd_product_installations or ad_patchdriver_minipks, for family packs you need to query through Metalink, OR if you have u driver file which resides on $AY_TOP/discoverer, looks for the minipacks/familypack version in the driver file.
