Hey @jvwing... I had a chance to check out the update. Everything looks
good but I do have one other comment that I probably should have noticed
before. Given the build details ultimately come from `nifi.properties` I don't
think we can rely on their presence. Often times, folks upgrade by retaining
their consisting `conf` directory so we typically try to ensure things still
work when the properties do not exist. In the System Diagnostics, it probably
makes sense to simply populate the fields with a message indicating that the
value isn't set. Additionally, you can style the elements with `unset`. In the
About dialog is probably makes sense to just not render anything under the
version. Currently, it just says 'Tagged'.
Thoughts?

> Affects Versions: 1.0.0
> Reporter: James Wing

> 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.
