             Summary: Rename VERSION.properties to avoid conflicts
                 Key: JGRP-1978
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JGRP-1978
             Project: JGroups
          Issue Type: Enhancement
    Affects Versions: 3.6.6
            Reporter: Emeric Vernat
            Assignee: Bela Ban
            Priority: Minor


JGroups expect to find a resource /VERSION.properties in the classpath from its jar file.
But other libs may expect the same resource in the classpath from their jar files.
This would cause a conflict and JGroups would fail to initialize its Version class, with an IllegalStateException and NoClassDefFoundError:
https://github.com/belaban/JGroups/blob/master/src/org/jgroups/Version.java#L59

Of course, it has happened:
https://github.com/javamelody/javamelody/issues/511

It could be suggested to rename or move VERSION.properties in jgroups to avoid conflicts.
