Taher Alkhateeb commented on OFBIZ-8250:
----------------------------------------
Hi Jacques. Michael discovered that by default on a clean checkout of OFBiz the files SvnInfo.ftl and GitInfo.ftl are not generated (but they used to be generated during the days of Ant). So this means, on a new checkout doing ./gradlew cleanAll loadDefault "ofbiz --start" would yield exceptions at the bottom of the page because of missing footer files.
The purpose of the patch designed by Michael as far as I see is to generate these files (empty) if they are missing to avoid this exception stack-trace in the user interface, and he also added a clean task to remove the files when calling cleanAll. So what Michael did is make things nice and automatic so that users don't have to worry or intentionally call svnInfoFooter and gitInfoFooter.
