checkFeatureSupport version comparison

[douglove]

I am using version 10.01 of exiftool.
I constructed the ExifTool with Feature.STAY_OPEN.
The version compare section of the checkFeatureSupport method uses a string compare and it returns false for supported.
Please change the versions to double or float for the comparison.

Existing code
if (ver != null && ver.compareTo(feature.version) >= 0) {
supported = Boolean.TRUE;
log("\t\tFound ExifTool version %s, feature %s is SUPPORTED.",
ver, feature);
} else {
supported = Boolean.FALSE;
log("\t\tFound ExifTool version %s, feature %s is NOT SUPPORTED.",
ver, feature);
}

My solution
if(ver != null){
double verDouble = Double.parseDouble(ver);
double featureVerDouble = Double.parseDouble(feature.version);

            if(verDouble >= featureVerDouble){
                supported = Boolean.TRUE;
                log("\t\tFound ExifTool version %s, feature %s is SUPPORTED.",
                    ver, feature);
            }else {
                supported = Boolean.FALSE;
                log("\t\tFound ExifTool version %s, feature %s is NOT SUPPORTED.",
                        ver, feature);
            }
        } else {
            supported = Boolean.FALSE;
            log("\t\tFound ExifTool version %s, feature %s is NOT SUPPORTED.",
                    ver, feature);
        }

Parsing the version as a double is incorrect because doubles 8.4 > 8.36 which is not true for version numbers.

I suggest wrapping the strings in the maven comparable version class DefaultArtifactVersion as described here: http://stackoverflow.com/a/6640972/276093
