[wildfly-dev] Versions in JBoss Modules

[David M. Lloyd]

With this PR [1] for issue MODULES-257 [2], JBoss Modules (as of version 
1.6.0) will gain the ability to associate a version string with each 
module that is defined.  I have not yet merged this PR; I want to see if 
anyone has any feedback on the change first.  Of note is that I define a 
syntax for versions, as well as a sort order that should be largely 
Maven-compatible.  The module version can be queried at run time, will 
appear in modules' toString(), and starting in Java 9, should also 
appear in stack traces (though this is not certain yet).  Ideally we 
will be able to copy version information into our shipped modules when 
we build feature packs.

If nobody has any feedback in the next few days, I will go ahead and 
merge the change.
