We are distributing Windows software via a web site that includes an automatic updates feature. Both the Windows software and the web site are built using Maven and Jenkins.
At present the web site (a WAR) uses Maven to depend-on a Maven version of the Windows software (an exe). Each "customer" receives this WAR so versions are per-customer. Currently, a developer will give the Maven windows project a build number in a file and share that within a file of the WAR archive. I want Jenkins to be put in charge of this. Clearly the artefact of the Windows file can be made aware of the Jenkins build number via an environment variable during the build process but as the WAR archive is constructed the build number of the dependent Windows project needs to be identified and included in the WAR itself. While we could feed this in, I'd prefer Jenkins to remain autonomous. At this point I'm a little lost but I suspect this sort of thing has been done before so suggestions from experience would be appreciated.
