    the code was mostly borrowed from other apache projects (hadoop/storm).  
There is a fair amount of code here but its not really that complex. one maven 
plugin, one version.java file and one properties file.
    
    It solves the problem of knowing the exact version and build information 
without manually editing files. I want to be able to have a automated build to 
build spark, update the version if required and when that gets deployed 
somewhere i want to know exactly what that was built from.  This is basic 
automated CI/CD stuff with tracability.
    
    We can definitely do this other ways so please propose alternatives.
