Well, the plan was to move ServerInfo to Kernel module, but I never got
to it. We were also going to make ServerInfo a magic attribute since
it is used everywhere.

Hi,
I've come across a file that I didn't know what it is for -
kernel/src/java/org/apache/geronimo/kernel/Version. It looks like it
was meant to provide information about the Kernel version. The module
- kernel - depends on two geronimo-specs. There's also the GBean -
system/src/java/org/apache/geronimo/system/serverinfo/ServerInfo that
provides the information. It relies on the ServerConstants class of
the same package. During the build (see maven.xml of the system
module) the file -
org/apache/geronimo/system/serverinfo/geronimo-version.properties - is
created and populated with a necessary data. The file is then read by
ServerConstants.
I think kernel module should provide information about itself. Unless
I'm mistaken it's decided to minimize the dependencies of kernel as
much as possible, thus the two spec deps.
Should Version be implemented similarly to ServerConstants and
ServerConstants be removed? SystemInfo could then read the version
information from Kernel module.
We should also create the main method of Version to let people find
out what Kernel (and Geronimo in general) they work with.
Suggestions?
Jacek
