Project versioning
Hi all,
I would like some advices about how automatically update a properties file
inserting into an incremental value representing the build number....
My scenario:
- I have a web application and I would like to insert in some page, the
build version....
- I would like to know if is there a way to obtain the project version from
the java code in a way that I'm able to insert a label showing that
version...
- If there wasn't such a way, I was thinking to write project version in a
file, then from java code I would read that file and would update my
label...
Have you got any idea? Obviously I would like to take advantage of Maven and
I would prefer to avoid another file....
Thanks in advance,
Raffaele Gambelli

Thanks Brian, but
could you point me to some snippet/example/doc about filtering ?
However, are you saying something like this -->
- I write a properties file inserting a property, for example "version =
${version}"
- "mvn package" valorizes that properties file with current version number
?
Thanks again and best regards

Hi Stephen,
thanks to advice to use buildnumber plugin, I didn't know it before...
Now, please be patient, can you explain me better the meaning of "and filter
in the project version *and* the
build number" ?
Thanks again
regards

Hi,
unfortunately I'm here again....my boss is not satisfied with this solution:
- Due to old consuetudes he would like the following scenario:
1) In the pom version tag, he wants specify only Major.Minor, ex: 1.5
2) In the file (version.cfg) that will be read by java code to show a label
informing user about product build number, he wants that an automatic
process append to Major.Minor (taken from pom during build phase) another
version, example 1.5.562
3) He wants that, each time I run "mvn package", maven updates that file
incrementing by one that number....
Do you believe is it possible doing it with maven?
Thanks in advance and scuse me again.... (I'm agree with your vision, my
boss not :-) )

No you can't filter only one file that I recall, but you can make
something like src/main/filtered-resources and enable filtering on that
folder only.

Ok guys thank you all,
There is only one thing that I'm continuing to not understand....
In my src/main/resources I have many many files.....
I would like to filter only one of those files....
but putting this in my pom
<resources>

How could I say maven to filter only one specific file and not a full

Re: Project versioning

Ok guys thank you all,
There is only one thing that I'm continuing to not understand....
In my src/main/resources I have many many files.....
I would like to filter only one of those files....
but putting this in my pom
<resources>
<resource>
<directory>src/main/resources</directory>
<filtering>true</filtering>
</resource>
</resources>
has effect to try to filter all the files....
How could I say maven to filter only one specific file and not a full
folder?
Best regards

Re: Project versioning
Posted by Stephen Connolly <st...@gmail.com>.
Alternatively, you could pull the version info from the pom.xml that gets
stashed in a sub-folder of META-INF by default.... but this might require a
bit of work since the version could have been inherited from the parent
version...
Safest way is as Brian suggests... and it has the added advantage of not
tieing you to maven for your build.
What we do is we have a properties file with
version=${project.version}
as the only entry. We then turn on filtering for that properties file, and
to access it from code we just use getClass().getResource("/path to
versions.properties")

Normally you just have a properties file that is filtered during the
build and at runtime your code reads the value.

Hi all,
I would like some advices about how automatically update a properties
file
inserting into an incremental value representing the build number....
My scenario:
- I have a web application and I would like to insert in some page, the
build version....
- I would like to know if is there a way to obtain the project version
from
the java code in a way that I'm able to insert a label showing that
version...
- If there wasn't such a way, I was thinking to write project version in
a
file, then from java code I would read that file and would update my
label...
Have you got any idea? Obviously I would like to take advantage of Maven
and
I would prefer to avoid another file....
Thanks in advance,
Raffaele Gambelli
