[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (AS7-2661) Build Number needs to be inserted into the build process so people can know which version they have

[Paul Gier (Commented) (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-2661?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12643410#comment-12643410 ] 

Paul Gier commented on AS7-2661:
--------------------------------

The build time and git commit ID are both in the jar manifest of any of the AS jars.  For example, look in modules/org/jboss/as/controller/main, and the jar contains Scm-Version and Build-Time.  We could probably put this information in an easier to find location.

> I found a few issues, and developers asked for what version I am using.  In the response it was discovered there is no way to grab the "version" of what was built.  It would be great to inject a build time, and the version of the current git repo in some file somewhere.  Might it be a good idea to grab and label all of the projects that make up the release.  Support might want this information also.
