Chris Bredesen commented on HHH-3781:
-------------------------------------

The bit that allows you to set Main-Class in MANIFEST.MF is outlined here:

http://maven.apache.org/shared/maven-archiver/index.html

<archive>
  ...
  <manifest>
  ...
    <mainClass/>
  </manifest>
</archive>

> As a convenience to users trying to understand what versions of components are in use, it would be swell if Hibernate would echo its full version string to the console in response to "executing" the jar.  JBoss Cache for example behaves thusly:
> $ java -jar jboss-cache-jdk50.jar 
> Version: 	1.4.1.SP10
> Codename: 	Cayenne
> History:  	(see http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBCACHE for details)
