Description Anthony Hunter CLA 2015-08-26 15:51:36 EDT 
The about page at http://localhost:8080/about/about.html contains a Build Id.

It is currently hard coded for an Orion version, specifically 10.0.0-vyyyyMMdd-HHmm

If you are packaging Orion in your own application, it would be nice to override the build id with your own application's build id.

A small change to the pom.xml would allow users to override the property in their maven build with:

-Dbuild-version="3.14159"

Additionally, this would allow you to feed the build version from Hudson into the maven build.

In addition, a client would just like the Build in JSON format.

Seems like the best way is to add the API:

http://localhost:8080/version

to return:

{"build": "10.0.0.v20150914-1654"}

There is a problem introduced with the last change.

The old build id was 10.0.0-v20150914-1654. The change of the dash in "10.0.0-" to dot in "10.0.0." broke the promotion script and crap is shown in the downloads page.
