thank you both for your quick responses! the incrementing of the build number occurs in my INIT target, and all other targets depend on this one. each time i run the build script, init is only run once. i wish i could write some kind of test case for this but it appears to happen erratically, but i'll see if i can recreate it reliably.
<echo message="increment the build counter" /> <propertyfile file="build/build.number"> <entry key="build.number" type="int" operation="+" value="1" /> </propertyfile> #build.number property file. #Mon Dec 30 10:46:31 CST 2002 project.minor.version=2 build.number=90 project.major.version=0 i've included the script again and my properties file, if anyone else has any ideas.
