             Summary: Include SVN revision information in bundle manifests
                 Key: FELIX-5752
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-5752
             Project: Felix
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Neil Bartlett


I recently opened an issue against a SNAPSHOT version of Framework (FELIX-5751) that I had obtained from the Apache Snapshots Maven repository. It was actually quite difficult to find out precise version information from the framework JAR file beyond {{Bundle-Version: 5.7.0.SNAPSHOT}}. The best I could find was a build timestamp in {{META-INF/maven/.../pom.properties}}.

For bug reporting purposes it would be very helpful to include a manifest header in every JAR to reflect the current Subversion revision, tags etc. In bnd(tools) we have done this for a long time with a Git-Descriptor header. Also the new standard Bundle-SCM header could be used.
