Access Continuum build number value?

["Tawfik, Sameh E" <Sa...@fairisaac.com>]

During the build, I need to obtain the current build number value and
pass it on to another process, so where does Continuum save the build
number information? Is there is a file I can read to retrieve this
information from?

Every time, Continuum runs it increment the current build number value
by one, so where does it retrieve this value from?

Thanks,

   Sameh

Hi Nico,

Thanks for your quick response, but could you give a little more
information about how to use ${basedir} to retrieve Continuum build
number? Is there is an example I can review?

In my parent Maven pom.xml, I've the following section:

            <plugin>
                <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
                <artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
                <configuration>
                    <archive>
                        <manifestEntries>
                            <Built-By>XYZ, Inc.</Built-By>
                            <Module-version>1.0.0</Module-version>
                            <Build-number>3953</Build-number>
                            <Build-date>APR.11.2008</Build-date>
                            <Mode>development</Mode>
                        </manifestEntries>
                    </archive>
                </configuration>
            </plugin>

Currently, as shown above the build number value is hard coded, so my
goal is to automatically update the above build number value with
Continuum build number whenever Continuum runs a build. And also, the
build date if possible?

Can this be done?

  Thanks,
 
       Sameh

Hello,

The ${basedir} variable allow you to know the build number information.

Marin,

This is exactly what I needed, and it worked fine.

Just one more thing, is there is another property I can use for retrieving the value of the build date?

 Thanks,

   Sameh

Not a file, but a system property: continuum.project.nextBuild.number
See this thread for more information:
