Notes

Most plugins have an Activator class, which is created and set up when the plugin is loaded. Adding this method to the Activator allows a static call to get it's version number, including the qualifier....

private static String version;
public static String getVersion() {
	if (version == null) {
		version = (String) instance.getBundle().getHeaders().get("Bundle-Version");
	}
	return version;
}
