Leslin (Hong Xiang Lin) commented on FLUME-1240:
------------------------------------------------
I implemented a version class to get version info from manifest file of
flume-ng-core-*.jar. It's one of most popular way to get info.
Now the version info from manifest file like below:
anifest-Version: 1.0
Archiver-Version: Plexus Archiver
Created-By: Apache Maven
Built-By: leslin
Build-Jdk: 1.6.0_26
Specification-Title: Flume NG Core
Specification-Version: 1.2.0-incubating-SNAPSHOT
Specification-Vendor: Apache Software Foundation
Implementation-Title: Flume NG Core
Implementation-Version: 1.2.0-incubating-SNAPSHOT
Implementation-Vendor-Id: org.apache.flume
Implementation-Vendor: Apache Software Foundation
I only get Implementation-Version and Built-by now. Let me know if we need more
info. It's usage like below:
leslin@ubtServer:/usr/lib/flume-ng/bin$ flume-ng version
Apache Flume version: 1.2.0-incubating-SNAPSHOT
Built-By: 1.2.0-incubating-SNAPSHOT
Furthermore, Maven JAR Plugin can add any required info like
http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-jar-plugin/examples/manifest-customization.html
any comments?

> Project: Flume
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Build
> Affects Versions: v1.2.0
> Reporter: Will McQueen
> Assignee: Leslin (Hong Xiang Lin)
> Fix For: v1.2.0

>
> A user should have a way to know which version of Flume is being used. This
> can be implemented by adding a 'version' command to the flume-ng shell
> script. For example:
> flume-ng version
> ...would result in the git commit # that the Flume NG build is based on. This
> would help with tracking a user's problems with using Flume.
> I imagine that the build process would need to create some kind of buildinfo
> file that can be referenced by the script... that's just one idea. I'm
> interested in what others think.
> Hadoop has the same feature: "hadoop version".
