There seems to be some interest in this facility on maven-user.
I would have spoken up already but I thought the build number plugin was a different thing.
I'm not sure, however, if this is heading towards an even more generic usage, where you could grab the revision using maven-scm, without any plugins. I'm not sure if the checks this plugin does (to ensure the latest revision number) are desirable in that case. Any thoughts?
IMO it would make sense It's just great to have that information in the manifest. You can easily iterate over your classpath and know exactly what versions you are dealing with. Porting my maven1 revison plugin to maven2 was on my TODO ...but I am happy if someone else takes over :) cheers -- Torsten
