Paul Sundling commented on MNG-1832:
------------------------------------

What happened to the buildinfo plugin?  It was in the sandbox and now it disappeared.  

Look at the hoops someone else went through:  http://www.gadberry.com/aaron/2007/05/28/inject-build-time-timestamp-property-using-maven/

I notice his caveat that you have to build twice, all for a timestamp.  It's a shame the fix won't be included until 2.1.  

I downloaded head of 2.1 and used mvn.timestamp and didn't seem to filter properly still.

> Current timestamp (time or date) is often used while filtering resources or creating manifest in ant builds. There is no equivalent in maven.
