             Summary: Inclusion of a git.properties resource in Arrow JARs causes confusion in Spring Boot applications
                 Key: ARROW-16825
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-16825
             Project: Apache Arrow
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Java
    Affects Versions: 8.0.0
            Reporter: Nils Breunese


By default Spring Boot reads {{classpath:git.properties}} to get information about the Git repository of an application. However, Arrow JARs also include a resource called {{git.properties}}, and this can cause Spring Boot to read the information from one of the Arrow libraries instead of from the application. [This was reported to Spring Boot as an issue|https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/issues/18137], but the Spring Boot developers say that they cannot automatically distinguish the application Git properties from {{git.properties}} resources from dependencies.

Would you consider omitting {{git.properties}} from Arrow JARs in future releases or will Spring Boot users that (directly or indirectly) use Arrow need to work around this by letting {{git-commit-id-plugin}} generate the application Git properties in an alternative location and configuring Spring Boot to read the information from that alternative location ({{spring.info.git.location}})? Of course other libraries could also cause this issue, but Arrow is the first and only library that I've encountered so far that publishes JARs with a {{git.properties}} resource in them.

It seems that the fact that Arrow JARs include {{git.properties}} resources also caused ARROW-6361.
