I thought version.properties was being generated from build-messaging.xml, and it is actually committed. As I said before, it should be generated. For instance I'll later add some version control between the native and java layer. I will throw some errors if the native layer is on an older version than the java layer, but for that to work well it would be better to have a single point where the version is maintained, and I guess the best place for that is build-messaging.xml. Any counter opinion? View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4168816#...
