Since "version" is an asadmin local command, we *could* change the
implementation to print the information differently if --terse is
specified.
"version" is also a remote command, which the local command uses
to get the version from the server if it's running. The remote
command doesn't know about --terse, and it currently returns the
full string for the version - "Oracle GlassFish Server 3.0.1 (build 22)".
So, --terse could easily get rid of the "Version = ", but if you want
to get rid of the product name you're going to need an option that's
passed to the remote command so that it can return different information.
(I don't think you want the new terse/short format output to only work
in the local case.)
You could have the local command specify a different option when it
calls the remote command, if --terse was specified. But I think it's
probably going to be better to use a new option for this.
