Any other > suggestions? The archiver itself can add this field in the manifest, no need for expressions then. Perhaps re-use the timestamp used on snapshot naming? The ${now} is rather unprecise; builds can take minutes, what time is used? Perhaps the 'ctime' of the main artifact? Btw, it looks like this is some abuse of a versioning scheme. If non-snapshot versions are used, the version is clear. If snapshots are used, also clear versions (1.0-YYYYMMDDHHMMSS) are used. I think those are accessible from pom.properties? The 'Implementation-Version' manifest entry currently reports the -SNAPSHOT version; a filled-out SNAPSHOT version could be added to that too, but I think it's calculated on the moment of deployment. We would need to define a clear moment when that is calculated, so on deployment, the filename contains the same version tag as the manifest entry. -- Kenney > > mike > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > -- Kenney Westerhof http://www.neonics.com GPG public key: http://www.gods.nl/~forge/kenneyw.key --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
