Matt Foley reopened HADOOP-8924:
--------------------------------


After discussion in common-dev@, the community consensus rejected use of 
Python. (see references in HADOOP-9082)  Also, it was encouraged to take 
functionality out of scripts and move it into core code.

I suggest that we convert saveVersion.sh to Java, and change the ant script to 
a recursive call that compiles the java class and then invokes it.  Same thing 
should work in trunk, but be aware there are two instances of saveVersion.sh in 
trunk: hadoop-common-project/hadoop-common/dev-support/saveVersion.sh and 
hadoop-yarn-project/hadoop-yarn/hadoop-yarn-common/scripts/saveVersion.sh.  
They are slightly different, but I suspect that can and should be subsumed.

> Currently, the build process relies on saveVersion.sh to generate 
> package-info.java with a version annotation.  The sh binary may not be 
> available on all developers' machines (e.g. Windows without Cygwin). This 
> issue tracks removal of that dependency in Hadoop Common.
