[xwiki-devs] Set the standard java.lang.Package fields in the MANIFEST
Hi devs, The is a very easy way to get information about a jar trough Package class. Unfortunately we did not configured Maven to set most of the standard fields that Package expect (Specification-* and Implementation-* fields). Once enabled it mean you can get the version of your module (or the module of any class as easily) by doing this.getClass().getPackage().getImplementationVersion(). See https://maven.apache.org/shared/maven-archiver/examples/manifest.html for more. WDYT about enabling that in Maven Jar plugin ? Here is my +1. -- Thomas Mortagne

Ok for me, I don’t see any negative aspect. I imagine that you have a use case? Thanks -Vincent
