[jira] Commented: (MYFACES-885) Make version information available at runtime

["Alexander Jesse (JIRA)" <de...@myfaces.apache.org>]

    [ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYFACES-885?page=comments#action_12358780 ] 

Alexander Jesse commented on MYFACES-885:
-----------------------------------------

I have been discussing this issue with Ed Burns (in the ##JSF channel).
I have the impression that he thinks it would be a very usefull feature. But he also considers it an issue that is valid for all JEE-components. Therefor he is discussing it with the appropriate experts. 

We talked about a Hashtable in the applicaiton context where each component could write the implementation and version information. This would then allow all different uses like:
- just log for information at application startup
- write components that use the best helper-classes from the current running implementation
- access via MBean for interactive checks

As soon as I get more infos from him, I'll report back

> Please make the version/build information availabe at runtime.
> Maybe you can change the manifest file so that something like
>     Package.getPackage(".....").getImplementationVersion();
> works.
> Or provide a Version class that provides the information.
> Or implement both ways.
> It really helps if you have to support various projects. Then every project is able to log the versions of the used libraries at startup.
