             Summary: Allow prepending a custom user agent
                 Key: JCLOUDS-819
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCLOUDS-819
             Project: jclouds
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: jclouds-core
            Reporter: Everett Toews
            Priority: Minor


Give your users the ability to _prepend_ a custom user agent. So if the 
existing user agent is "jclouds/1.8.1 java/1.7.0_51"

Provide a method for your users to easily prepend their own user agent so they 
can further customize it. e.g. "users-app/0.1.2 jclouds/1.8.1 java/1.7.0_51"

This will give cloud providers much better insight into how people are using 
jclouds. This should be well documented and part of examples that are written 
for jclouds.

It could be set like,

{code}
ComputeServiceContext context = ContextBuilder.newBuilder(PROVIDER)
   .credentials(username, apiKey)
   .userAgent("users-app/0.1.2")
   .buildView(ComputeServiceContext.class);
{code}
