[jboss-dev] Recording build environment information

[Paul Gier]

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.
