Get current module's version in Ant

[Alessandro Marino <al...@gmail.com>]

I've a project with various modules, the last couple of modules are the war
artifacts. How can I inject the module's version in the war Ant task ?

At the moment I'm defining a property in the ivyconfig.xml file and then I
retrieve it when creating the war, but I'm sure that there's a clener way to
do this.

Thanks and regards,
Alessandro

Hi,

You can use ivy:buildnumber

http://ant.apache.org/ivy/history/latest-milestone/use/buildnumber.html

We are frequently doing releases like 2.0.1-RC2 etc and to switch from an
RC* series to finals we still use a property to be able to override the
build number from the command line.

Cheers,
Geoff
