Rob Stryker commented on JBIDE-17396:
-------------------------------------

This patch applies to wf and other as7-style installations, and a little for product installations which look for their version information in  base/org/jboss/as/product/SLOT/dir/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF.  

For products, we also check the underlying AS version as well from the server jar to get the implementation version of the underlying AS from manifest.

>          Components: server

> Creating a server/runtime out of a patch-build wildfly8.1.0.CR4 cannot correctly determine the version of the given home directory. 
> The reason for this bug is that the class in charge of discovering a server version is looking for a jar that can properly give the versioning information. For wildfly, we are looking to introspect the jar modules/system/layers/org/jboss/as/server/main/*.jar.   And we are looking for the manifest.mf property key:  JBossAS-Release-Version
> Currently, trying to introspect this jar fails, because the jar is an invalid jar file. 
> It must be recognized that there is now no safe way / agreed-upon API to determine the version of a given server installation when the server is stopped.
> There are options:
>   1) We respect the module structure / overlay layout and simply look for the correct module folder for "org.jboss.as.server", or
>   2) We agree to one single file that will be updated and hold the version information for a given project or product release.
