[Contrib: Evaluation System] EVALSYS APP VERSION in admin page footer

[David Horwitz]

This is the entry in the kernel component-manager pom that writes the 
kernel version:


<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-antrun-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.2</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>compile</phase>
<configuration>
<tasks>
<echo message="version.kernel=${project.version}${line.separator}" 
file="${project.build.outputDirectory}/org/sakaiproject/config/version.properties" 
/>
<tstamp>
<format property="timestamp" pattern="dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss Z" />
</tstamp>
<echo message="buildTime.kernel=${timestamp}" 
file="${project.build.outputDirectory}/org/sakaiproject/config/version.properties" 
append="true" />
</tasks>

</configuration>
<goals>
<goal>run</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
