Description

It might be a good idea to append
'compiled on <timestamp>'

when maven2 is invoked with '--version' swtich/option, just like Ant does. Can be helpful when compiling m2 locally 'n' times and need to ensure the m2 installation was infact updated or when was it last updated.

I thought this was already done, but I checked 2.0.1 and it wasn't. What was included in 2.0.1?

The truck version of "maven-cli/src/main/java/org/apache/maven/cli/MavenCli.java" includes the necessary code to add the build date when mvn --version is invoked but the problem is that MavenArchiver doesn't include the "builtOn" property that MavenCli looks for. I've created a patch for the MavenArchiver in component to add a "builtOn" property to the pom.properties file it generates. The maven bootstrap component also doesn't include the "builtOn" property to pom.properties file it generates. I have created a patch for that too.

Note that the date format is "MMM d yyyy" (i.e. May 15 2006).

I have submitted the Maven-Archive patch to the archive component. Please use that patch instead. Note that a minor change has been made to the date format. It is now "MMM d yyyy HH:mm:ss z"

Bootstrap is entirely different now. Ant-based and it's not really a problem making sure you have the right Maven ... knowing from experience building it 20 times a day when applying patches for example.

regardless, built on would be a useful addition to the --version output

Can you please use the ISO date-time format so that it's a known output in case someone wants to parse it.
