What is the syntax to retrieve a system property value form a pom?
Hi,
What is the syntax to use from inside a pom.xml file to retrieve the
value of the system date on Windows XP?
I need to update the following parameter with the Build-date value. I
tried ${env.date} but it did not work?
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<archive>
<manifestEntries>
<Built-By>xyz, Inc.</Built-By>
<Build-date>?????</Build-date>
</manifestEntries>
</archive>
</configuration>
</plugin>
Thanks,
Sameh

No such property exists, unless you've added the buildnumber plugin to
your build:

Thanks Wendy, this approach worked, but I'd to use the buildNumber
property and not the timestamp as I thought I would?
I must be using the wrong format, but I tried few choices and nothing
worked. The time stamp always appears as follow:
[INFO] Storing buildNumber: Apr 16, 2008 at timestamp: 1208394330099
Anyway, here is the code I'm using which is accomplishing what I need:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>buildnumber-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>validate</phase>
<goals>
<goal>create</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
<configuration>
<doCheck>false</doCheck>
<doUpdate>false</doUpdate>
<format>{0,date}</format>
<items>
<item>timestamp</item>
</items>
</configuration>
</plugin>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<archive>
<manifestEntries>
<Built-By>xyz, Inc.</Built-By>
<Build-date>${buildNumber}</Build-date>
</manifestEntries>
</archive>
</configuration>
</plugin>

You can use the Build Number plugin to put the current date into a
property that you can use in the build:
