             Summary: Generate a build number when building the project.
                 Key: EAGLE-581
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/EAGLE-581
             Project: Eagle
          Issue Type: New Feature
    Affects Versions: v0.5.0
            Reporter: Huizhi Lu
            Assignee: Huizhi Lu
             Fix For: v0.5.0


Use case:
we need to know what version(latest commit revision) of source code we are using for the current build so that it will be convenient for us to clarify different builds.

Solution:
Use buildnumber-maven-plugin
1. Add Maven plugin buildnumber-maven-plugin to pom.xml file
2. Add build property placeholders
create a build.properties file (e.g. in  src/main/resources):
build.properties:
build.version=${version}  # Maven version
build.revision=${buildNumber} # Source code revision number 
build.timestamp=${timestamp} # long value of check in time
3. Using build number in web app
@Value(“${build.revision}”)
private String buildRevision;
