Confluence 2.9 has reached end of life
Check out the [latest version] of the documentation
Information about Confluence, such as the version number, build number and build date, can be retrieved from the GeneralUtil object.
You can use GeneralUtils public accessors to retrieve public static variables:
- versionNumber
- buildDate
- buildNumber
In Java
String versionNumber = GeneralUtil.getVersionNumber();
String buildNumber = GeneralUtil.getBuildNumber();
String buildDate = GeneralUtil.getBuildDateString();
or
Date buildDate = GeneralUtil.getBuildDate();
In Velocity
$generalUtil.versionNumber $generalUtil.buildNumber $generalUtil.buildDateString
For instance, part of the Confluence footer is generated in the footer.vm file:
(Version: $generalUtil.versionNumber Build:#$generalUtil.buildNumber $generalUtil.buildDateString)
In Wiki markup
User Macros can include the Velocity markup given above. For example, create a macro called 'version' with no body and the contents:
$generalUtil.versionNumber
You can use this user macro in a page like this:
Congratulation, you're running Confluence version {version}!
