Colliding root-level version.properties can misreport the SDK version

Bug Report

What did you do?

Built an operator as a single shaded jar depending on both io.javaoperatorsdk:operator-framework-core (5.6.1) and io.javaoperatorsdk:kubernetes-webhooks-framework-core (3.0.4). Both artifacts generate a root-level version.properties via the git-commit-id-maven-plugin, so the two files collide at the same jar entry path.

What did you expect to see?

The operator startup log reports operator-framework-core's commit id and build time, which Utils.loadFromProperties() reads from version.properties.

What did you see instead? Under which circumstances?

ClassLoader.getResourceAsStream returns the first match, so Utils can silently report the webhooks framework's commit id and build time as the SDK version. This only surfaces when the jars are merged into one (or the classpath puts the webhooks jar first), which is probably why it went unnoticed: setups that keep the jars separate, such as Quarkus, usually resolve the operator-framework-core copy first.

Possible Solution

Give each artifact a uniquely named properties file:

• operator-framework-core: operator-sdk-version.properties, updating the lookup in Utils.loadFromProperties() (its only reader)
• kubernetes-webhooks-framework-core: for example kubernetes-webhooks-framework-version.properties (nothing reads it today, so it is only a rename); I can file a companion issue there

Happy to contribute PRs (for both repos if needed).

Start by locating Utils.loadFromProperties() and the git-commit-id-maven-plugin configuration that creates version.properties. Rename the operator-framework-core resource and update its lookup, then build a shaded jar containing both framework artifacts and verify the startup log reports the operator framework's commit id and build time.
