Hi Alejandro, For build-time issues in branch-2 and beyond, this may make sense (although I'm concerned about obscuring functionality in a way that only maven experts will be able to understand). In the particular case of saveVersion.sh, I'd be happy to see it done automatically by the build tools.
However, for build-time issues in the non-mavenized branch-1, and for run-time issues in both worlds, the need for cross-platform scripting remains.
