http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=29462 Add "what" information to source files Summary: Add "what" information to source files Product: Cocoon 2 Version: Current CVS 2.1 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: Other Component: core AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] This was discussed in http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=xml-cocoon-dev&m=108667813326352&w=2 The idea is to add "what" ID strings to source files, containing the Subversion URL that allows one to retrieve the appropriate version of the source file, for example: public static final String WHAT_ID = "@(#) SomeFile.java http://subversion-url-here";; Then, the "what" command (http://www.hmug.org/man/1/what.html) can be used to extract this info from source files, or from jar files: unzip -p somejar.jar | what will print the WHAT_IDs contained in the jar. This will allow users to know exactly which versions of source files have been used to build jars that they're using (assuming the files have been committed to SVN before compiling). A script or ant task will be needed to make sure all source files contain this info.
