[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (JGRP-1978) Rename VERSION.properties to avoid conflicts

Emeric Vernat created JGRP-1978: ----------------------------------- Summary: Rename VERSION.properties to avoid conflicts Key: JGRP-1978 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JGRP-1978 Project: JGroups Issue Type: Enhancement Affects Versions: 3.6.6 Reporter: Emeric Vernat Assignee: Bela Ban Priority: Minor JGroups expect to find a resource /VERSION.properties in the classpath from its jar file. But other libs may expect the same resource in the classpath from their jar files. This would cause a conflict and JGroups would fail to initialize its Version class, with an IllegalStateException and NoClassDefFoundError: https://github.com/belaban/JGroups/blob/master/src/org/jgroups/Version.ja... Of course, it has happened: https://github.com/javamelody/javamelody/issues/511 It could be suggested to rename or move VERSION.properties in jgroups to avoid conflicts. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.11#64026)
