--------------------------------------
Github user jvwing commented on the issue:
https://github.com/apache/nifi/pull/583
I force-pushed a substantial update/rewrite. Changes from the previous
implementation include:
* Moving most of the logic to the nifi-assembly pom rather than the parent
pom
* Including the Tag property with the build information (typically HEAD for
snapshot builds, RC tags for release builds)
* Handling formal releases by using Tag, ignoring revision and branch.
* More gracefully handling a source build outside git by using empty
revision and branch
* Updated the about box UI to selectively include information based on
availability
- Tag displayed when not HEAD
- Revision and branch displayed when not empty
* Included a sample UI using the System Diagnostics dialog. I'm not
suggesting we need both About and System Diagnostics, just showing sample
options for discussion.
* Rebased on recent master
> Enhanced About Box Version Information

> Key: NIFI-2115
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-2115
> Project: Apache NiFi
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Core UI, Tools and Build
> Affects Versions: 1.0.0
> Reporter: James Wing
> Assignee: James Wing
> Priority: Minor
>
> The UI's About dialog and underlying API provide the version of NiFi, like
> "0.7.0-SNAPSHOT". For many bug reports and troubleshooting requests, this is
> not very precise, especially around rapidly changing code or
> platform-dependent behavior. It would help if NiFi captured and displayed
> additional information:
> * NiFi build commit hash
> * NiFi build branch
> * NiFi build date/time
> * Java Version
> * Java Vendor (Oracle, OpenJDK)
> * OS
> Then a simple copy/paste from the about box would provide very specific
> information about a particular NiFi installation and which code it was
> derived from.
