Retrieving current revision from SCM

Hi all,

I'm trying to do the following:

We're using subversion and we need to extract the revision number of the
working copy and put that in a properties file. Is there an existing plugin
available to do this? I looked at the documentation for the SCM plugin and
it doesn't seem to quite fit the bill in order to do this.

Thanks!

Allan

Thanks, everyone!

We were finally able to get the resources filtered in our war pom, and the
version is now being inserted into a properties file.

Thanks again!

Allan,
In our company we also need to know exact revision number of each file
in project. The proposed "buildnumber" doesn't suit well, we need
exactly revision numbers!

We have created a custom version of maven-scm-plugin which supports this
feature. I am going to commit patch to maven-scm 1.3-SNAPSHOT soon.

Hi all,

I'm trying to do the following:

We're using subversion and we need to extract the revision number of the
working copy and put that in a properties file. Is there an existing
plugin
available to do this? I looked at the documentation for the SCM plugin
and
it doesn't seem to quite fit the bill in order to do this.

Thanks!

Allan

I've been using this:

<plugin>
	<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
	<artifactId>buildnumber-maven-plugin</artifactId>
	<version>1.0-beta-1</version>
	<executions>
		<execution>
			<phase>validate</phase>
			<goals>
				<goal>create</goal>
			</goals>
		</execution>
	</executions>
	<configuration>
		<doCheck>false</doCheck>
		<doUpdate>false</doUpdate>
	</configuration>
</plugin>

And in a resource properties file that's filtered:
scm.version=${buildNumber}

Thanks Olivier!

That _almost_ does it. If I don't specify <format> and <items> then I see
the correct revision printed on screen when the module builds. But I can't
seem to find the right format and items to read the buildNumber in the file.

Here is what I have in my <configuration> block for the plugin:

<format>{0,number}</format>
<items><item>buildNumber</item></items>

And the file output is:

#maven.buildNumber.plugin properties file
#Tue May 05 11:16:55 EDT 2009
buildNumber=1

I know I have to be missing something rather simple here. Any thoughts?

Thanks again!

Allan
