[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Created: (JBAS-4338) Improve version information in jar-versions.xml

[Arjan van Bentem (JIRA)]

Improve version information in jar-versions.xml
-----------------------------------------------

                 Key: JBAS-4338
                 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAS-4338
             Project: JBoss Application Server
          Issue Type: Feature Request
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
    Affects Versions: JBossAS-4.2.0.CR1
         Environment: All
            Reporter: Arjan van Bentem
            Priority: Optional


jboss-4.2.0.CR1.zip as available at http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=22866&package_id=16942&release_id=491475 shows the same information for many of the JAR files, in fact referring to the version of JBoss AS rather than the version of those specific JARs.

For example:

  <jar name="antlr.jar" 
   specVersion="4.2.0.CR1"
   specVendor="JBoss (http://www.jboss.org/)"
   specTitle="JBoss"
   implVersion="4.2.0.CR1 (build: SVNTag=JBoss_4_2_0_CR1 date=200703051212)"
   implVendor="JBoss Inc."
   implTitle="JBoss [Trinity]"
   implVendorID="http://www.jboss.org/" 
   implURL="http://www.jboss.org/" 
   sealed="false" 
   md5Digest="a107fc899a0c4a329cc04f8938fd607b"/>

Reading the following Javadoc I guess this is caused by missing MANIFEST information in the third-party libraries. Therefore, some other means of telling which versions are used would be appreciated very much!

http://fisheye.jboss.com/browse/JBoss/build/jboss/VersionRelease.java?r=1.5
    /** A utility which goes through a standard dist build and tags every jar
     * with the current build version using the jar file version manifest
     * headers. The unique jars and their version info and md5 digests are
     * output to the jboss.home/jar-versions.xml.
     * 
     * @author Scott.Stark at jboss.org
     * @version $Revision: 1.5 $
    */
    public class VersionRelease
    {
        :
    }

Thanks,
Arjan.
