For example, in JIRA, we would like to include Crowd runtime information on our System Information page, to make diagnosing some support cases easier.

Currently, the best we can do to determine if Crowd is being used is:

• obtain an instance of a CredentialsProvider
• check that the class name contains "Crowd" (to indicate a Crowd implementation)

Some extra information would useful, such as:

• current version
• ...?
