Description
VersionInfo should never be up-to-date. It should be regenerated each time, but in such a way that Toolkit, etc., is not recompiled.
Comments
Consider for future version, but may just close as "Won't fix"

I have only occasionally made use of this, so I agree that this is not critical for the gradle switchover. Would still like to see it at some point...

Why is this necessary? Hudson always does a full clean build, so it doesn't need this functionality. I've never had a situation where I cared that the timestamp in VersionInfo was correct. I can see the occasional developer stumbling on this, but very rarely?
