If you use Maven, you can the maven-replacer-plugin to automate the version/timestamp/build/etc for every build. One could also filter out things such unwanted files like .DS_Store with other plugins.
For instance: . . . <timestamp>${maven.build.timestamp}</timestamp> . . . <build> <plugins> <plugin> <groupId>com.google.code.maven-replacer-plugin</groupId> <artifactId>replacer</artifactId> <version>${google.replacer.version}</version> <executions> <execution> <phase>prepare-package</phase> <goals> <goal>replace</goal> </goals> </execution> </executions> <configuration> <ignoreMissingFile>false</ignoreMissingFile> <file>${compiler.output-dir}/index.html</file> <replacements> <replacement> <token> <![CDATA[<script type="text/javascript" src="./App.js"></script>]]> </token> <value> <![CDATA[<script defer type="text/javascript" src="./App.js?v=${timestamp}"></script>]]> </value> </replacement> <replacement> <token> <![CDATA[<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="App.min.css">]]> </token> <value> <![CDATA[<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="App.min.css?v=${timestamp}">]]> </value> </replacement> </replacements> </configuration> </plugin> . . .
