[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (JGRP-1978) Rename VERSION.properties to avoid conflicts

[Emeric Vernat (JIRA)]

     [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JGRP-1978?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Emeric Vernat updated JGRP-1978:
--------------------------------
    Description: 
JGroups expects 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.
