See #42324 for background.
Since StartupInfoLogger was first introduced we've added more features that could be useful to log. The application.name and application.version could be useful as could the git SHA if it's available.
We need to be a little careful not to add too much information and not to change the defaults in a way that folks won't like.

We like the idea of at least logging the application name, if we can do it without adding too much noise.

My two cents: I would vote for logging application version as well. It is very useful when receiving logs from client om-premise installations. Version extraction can be implemented in several ways (maybe with a configurable provider). We implemented extracting version from the JPMS module version, this seems to be a reasonable default.
One of the stackoverflow answers show how to add a module version using maven https://stackoverflow.com/questions/48151160/does-jpms-support-module-version
The official docs: https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/17/docs/specs/man/jar.html (see --module-version)
And in app code the version can be retrieved like this
System.out.println("Hello, modular World!");
Module module = HelloModularWorld.class.getModule();
ModuleDescriptor descriptor = module.getDescriptor();
System.out.println(descriptor.rawVersion());

@philwebb Hi Philip, I can create a PR for logging the application name and version. Could you please assign this issue to me?

Thanks for the offer, @sonu4578, but as indicated by the issue being labelled as "pending design work", we're not ready to accept contributions for this issue.
