The method SWT.getVersion() is missing from the API. It would be nice to return the RWT version from this method.

The suggested change could mislead existing SWT code that switches logic based on the SWT version. I doubt that we can implement this method reasonably.

Maybe this method should then return the implemented api version on which RWT is based?

In a discussion with Rüdiger, we decided that returning the SWT version is also misleading, since we do not support 100% of the SWT 3.6 API.

The method now returns the RWT version, which is useful in combination SWT#getPlatform().
Changes are in CVS HEAD.
