Jacopo Cappellato commented on OFBIZ-1700:
------------------------------------------

>From the dev list:

Bruno,

I like the approach you are taking (an ant target that writes the rev id into a 
text file that is then included into the footer).
However, it would be great if you would address the following scenarios/:

1) svn is not available: the build process should proceed without errors
2) the ant svn plugin is not available (I think it is an optional lib): the 
build process should proceed without errors
3) internate connection is not available when the ant target is invoked: the 
build process should proceed without errors
4) evaluate possible license issues (if any) with the ant svn plugin
5) (as Tim mentioned) the trunk was exported instead of checked out

Ideally, in all these situations the footer should show an empty rev id.

Also, where should we place the text file with the rev number in it? I'd 
suggest in the runtime folder (so that we don't write files inside the 
framework).

Just my 2 cents,

Jacopo
