[jira] Commented: (MNG-1832) built-in property containing current timestamp

["Piotr Bzdyl (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

    [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-1832?page=comments#action_53539 ] 

Piotr Bzdyl commented on MNG-1832:
----------------------------------

It would be very helpful in filling some properties files to get built-time at the artifact runtime to identify the version. It would be also helpful to have property with the current checkout revision (ie. ${scm.currentRevision}). Then I could use in the resources.properties:
app.builtOn=${timestamp}
app.scmVersion=${scm.currentRevision}

I can use $Revision$ or $LastChangedRevision$ because I would have to remember to modify and commit that properties file before building.
