[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBAS-7735) Remove release date from Server Version Information

[Brian Stansberry (JIRA)]

    [ https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBAS-7735?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12514366#action_12514366 ] 

Brian Stansberry commented on JBAS-7735:
----------------------------------------

As per http://community.jboss.org/wiki/JBossProjectVersioning 6.0.0.20100215-M2 is the official and correct name of the release. Any formal declaration of the version should use the full and correct name; IMO the logging above is a formal declaration of the version.

The one semi-exception to this is the decision not to include the timestamp in the name of the zip files for the dist, as discussed at http://post-office.corp.redhat.com/archives/jboss-tag-public/2010-February/msg00032.html . I say semi-exception, because a name of a zip file isn't really a formal declaration of the version.

Changing the directory name seems harmless enough, but doing it means hacking the build scripts to essentially manually set it. Is that worth doing?

> [org.jboss.bootstrap.impl.base.server.AbstractServer] JBossAS [6.0.0.20100215-M2 (build: SVNTag=JBoss_6.0.0.20100215-M2 date=r100927)]
> org.jboss.bootstrap.impl.base.server.AbstractServer picks up version information from the POM which has the release date set for maven artifacts. It would be nice to remove the release date information from version.
> The constructed properties SVNTag and date are erroneous as shown above.
> Similarly the top level directory name for the release distribution should not have the date information in it.
> <outputDirectory>/jboss-${project.version}</outputDirectory>
> creates jboss-6.0.0.20100215-M2 , rather jboss-6.0.0.M2 would be better.
