/** 
 * A class to determine the current Servlet API version number, and the
 * current JDK version number.  It looks at the available classes and
 * variables to make the determination.  The class can detect Servlet 
 * API versions up to 2.2, and JDK versions up to 1.3.
 * 
 * It can be used like this:
 * 
 * String servletVersion = VersionDetector.getServletVersion();
 *  
 * String javaVersion = VersionDetector.getJavaVersion();
 * 
 *
 * @author Jason Hunter, Copyright © 2000
 * @version 1.3, 2002/04/22, added detection of JDK 1.5 and Servlet API 2.4
 * @version 1.2, 2001/04/11, added detection of JDK 1.4
 * @version 1.1, 2000/09/22, added detection of Servlet API 2.3
