About Versions JSON representation inconsistent when there is only one resource

Issue Type:

BugBug

Affects Versions:

2.4-RC1

Assignee:

Unassigned

Components:

REST

Created:

Description:

The JSON produced by /rest/about/version.json has an array of version information if it found more than one manifest, but only the resource itself rather than a single element array if there is only one manifest.

This seems like odd behaviour and causes the unit test org.geoserver.rest.AboutTest.testGetAsVersionsJSON() to fail if only one manifest was found (just GeoTools rather than GeoTools and GeoWebCache)

To replicate, compare /rest/about/version.json with GWC included, and with all GWC jars removed.

GeoTools and GWC:

{"about":{"resource":[{"@name":"GeoTools","Build-Timestamp":"04-Sep-2013 15:39","Git-Revision":"59cccb2ff6287e070323e6925879a0f695f55a8a","Version":"10-SNAPSHOT"},{"@name":"GeoWebCache","Git-Revision":"174f715bf93929d69d0f5ed84f0d3950e5746f80\/174f715bf93929d69d0f5ed84f0d3950e5746f80","Version":"1.5.0-beta"}]}}

Just GeoTools:

{"about":{"resource":{"@name":"GeoTools","Build-Timestamp":"04-Sep-2013 15:39","Git-Revision":"59cccb2ff6287e070323e6925879a0f695f55a8a","Version":"10-SNAPSHOT"}}}

The unit test failure occurs based on test order and test environment (Maven Surefire vs Eclipse)
