Jorg Heymans commented on MNG-1832: ----------------------------------- the buildnumber plugin exposes by default 2 properties: ${buildNumber} and ${timestamp}. You can use these anywere in the pom, for example pass them as a parameter to a custom mojo that writes them to your custom property file if you'ld like. Alternatively just add them to the manifest with something like this: <plugin> <artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId> <configuration> <archive> <manifestEntries> <svnrevision>${buildNumber}</svnrevision> <buildDate>${timestamp}</buildDate> </manifestEntries> </archive> </configuration> </plugin> > built-in property containing current timestamp > ---------------------------------------------- > > Key: MNG-1832 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-1832 > Project: Maven 2 > Issue Type: New Feature > Affects Versions: 2.0.1 > Reporter: Michal Stochmialek > Attachments: maven-archiver_pomDelete.patch, > maven-core_defaultExpressions.patch > > > Current timestamp (time or date) is often used while filtering resources or > creating manifest in ant builds.
