[m2] Getting results of maven-buildnumber-plugin as a filter parameter

[Mark Chaimungkalanont <ma...@atlassian.com>]

Hi all,

I was looking for something to make the date a WAR was built available in the app, so I 
wanted this stored as a properties file in the resources directory. I've found the plugin 
maven-buildnumber-plugin which seems to populate a ${buildNumber} and ${timestamp} values.

This works fine when I use ${buildNumber} within the POM as part of the <finalName /> but 
doesn't do anything when I try to pass it through as property for a filtered parameter. 
Could it be that the plugin hasn't run yet when the properties are resolved? Maybe I need 
a different goal than "create'?

Any thoughts?

<snippets are below>

-----------------------------------------
test.properties - in the resources folder
-----------------------------------------
application.build.number=${timestamps}
application.build.date=${buildNumbers}
test=${buildNumber}
test2=${timestamp}

       </resource>
     </resources>

     <finalName>${project.artifactId}-${project.version}-r${buildNumber}</finalName>
   </build>

   <properties>
     <timestamps>${timestamp}</timestamps>
     <buildNumbers>${buildNumber}</buildNumbers>
   </properties>
