Overview

The mechanism relies on the presence of a "VERSION" metadata file in the application's classpath.

VersionUtilities.getVersion() and VersionUtilities.getReleaseDate() can be used as top-level API to locate, process and display the metadata.

In case the metadata file is not found, the both methods log the condition using SLF4J warn() and return null.
