OK then if we have both, why not?

Hi Jacques,

The developer can refer to the proposed ofbiz.version property if needed.

Hi James,

That's good when you start but could be hard to find after many days running in 
production for instance

Hi all,

How about hardcoding the released version in start.properties?
E.g.
ofbiz.version=v16.11.03

During startup, we can print out the version as part of the startup message 
like:
     ____  __________  _
    / __ \/ ____/ __ )(_)___
   / / / / /_  / __  / /_  /
/ /_/ / __/ / /_/ / / / /_
\____/_/   /_____/_/ /___/  v16.11.03 is started and ready.

Just update the released version in the properties before a release.

Regards,
James Yong

+1, version information should available somewhere, it will be helpful.

Hi

Having the version info available somehow could be useful. Whenever a user
reports a problem on our user lists, one of the first questions we ask them
is "What version are you using?"

Perhaps asking the question about version information, on the user list
might help.

Thanks

Thank you all for your thoughts on this.

I really like the idea shared by Taher to create a version file using
target and after second thought I agree that it can be a tiresome task
to
update version info manually with each release.
But before we conclude this discussion, I would like to share another
thought with you. I think we can add OFBiz version info in the
licensing
information we add to our files.
I know it will be a manual task, but can be easily done with a simple
Find
& Replace.

I am happy to work on the whichever implementation we decide
here(hoping I
am not stepping on anyone's toes).

Don't worry. I bet you aren't. ;)


And my reason to raise the concern was that it is very difficult to
identify which version of code a user is using(a real-time scenario
where I
was exposed to OFBiz code and I couldn't perform anything on it. So
just by
looking at it, I was unable to determine what version it was)


So you experienced a user being exposed to a OOTB OFBiz deployment,
deployed by your employer HotWax? Or was the user exposed to a deployment
that was also modified? In either case this is an issue related to the
Release Management process applied. And not necessarily an OFBIZ problem.


Waiting for your replies!!


Thanks & Regards,
Devanshu Vyas.
