Maven and Git providing build into at run-time
An interesting article about how git and Maven can be used to
automatically make the build revision and other info available at
run-time for logging or display in an "About" display.

Not a compelling reason to move to Maven or git but a nice addition to
OFBiz to make support and bug reporting a bit easier.
Also just a nice bit of reading if you enjoy reading about clever
programming.

The key thing to me is that if a person reports a bug with the product
identification on the screen or sends a log, can you find the version of
the code that was used to build their application.

The top-level build.xml has a rule to update the svn build revision;
this number is monotomically increasing. A git based $revhash isn't, so
there's a little bit of information lost there. But I think that's minor.
