Entire conversation:

(10:26:54 AM) anilsaldhana: what is the best way to deal with printing project version number when AS7 starts?
(10:27:27 AM) anilsaldhana: the reason I am asking is when we do mvn releases, if the Version.java does not get updated, then its pointless. :)
(10:27:50 AM) ***anilsaldhana is looking at suggestions from other projects
(10:32:45 AM) jpederse: anilsaldhana: our Version.java is generated as part of the build - and the version identifiers substituted
(10:33:08 AM) anilsaldhana: jpederse: I am starting a thread.

(10:34:44 AM) anilsaldhana: jpederse: the @version is got from manifesT?
(10:35:28 AM) jpederse: anilsaldhana: from a property in the build environment
(10:35:53 AM) jpederse: anilsaldhana: manifests generated too
(10:35:55 AM) anilsaldhana: jpederse: IJ build env or the AS build env?
(10:36:02 AM) jpederse: anilsaldhana: this is IJ
(10:36:41 AM) jpederse: anilsaldhana: aka "JBoss IronJacamar 1.0.6-SNAPSHOT" on my machine currently

Hi all,
  printing something like the following:
INFO: Infinispan version: Infinispan 'Ursus' 4.2.1.FINAL

is very useful when debugging user's issues.

I am interested in how project's do this.  I can create a Version.java but if maven releases do not change the value, then it is pointless.
