Metrics reporter jar file with incorrect version in its name

[jmarkan]

Hello @efeg ,
I just installed the latest version - v0.1.4 and executed ./gradlew jar copyDependantLibs command to generate the jar file. However, when I look under cruise-control-metrics-reporter/build/libs/, I see the jar file named as cruise-control-metrics-reporter-0.1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar.

This is kind of misleading as anyone who comes in later to check the version, will be forced to believe that we're on a very old version.

Would you please fix this?

Hi @jmarkan ,
Thank you for reporting the issue. I was able to reproduce the problem and seems like all the jars (cruise-control-core, cruise-control-metrics-reporter & cruise-control) are generated with the same version tag (0.1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar). The actual issue is with using the semantic-build-versioning Gradle plugin which relies on the Git tag to create generate the tag version. Currently, already you have to git init to build the jar (ref #256 ) along with this if you run git add . && git commit -m "first commit" && git tag -a 0.1.4 -m "test version" you will be able to generate the jar with 0.1.4 version.

Until then I will explore some better options of embedding the version number or use other Gradle versioning plugin for cruise control.

the kafka project gradle.properties has
version=2.1.0-SNAPSHOT

i like that because I can rename SNAPSHOT to the current short SHA if i'm testing a prerelease. If you're in there modifying this, having the ability for a semver prerelease version would be great, either manual or automatic.
