I put some information on the wiki about recording information about the build
environment in the jar manifest files [1]. The wiki page shows how to add
manifest entries for information like svn revision, build timestamp, java
version, etc. I would like to encourage everyone who is using Maven for their
builds to take a look.
All the jars generated by the AS6 build have this information included, and I'm
considering adding this to the jboss parent pom so that sub projects
automatically get this configuration.
