It would be great, but you know, they never have any examples in their docs, so I have to go scraping through plugins hoping to find something, which is how I found: > You could also use an appropriate ant tag (although its been so long I've > forgotten what its called - I think). Exactly. Worked like a dream. ;) See my reply to my reply. The production guys want three builds for three environments so I now have a goal that does them all at once.

Ah hah! I knew if I wrote to the list it would speed my discovery. This seems to work: Easy! :) Keith On Thu, 2004-01-15 at 15:21, Keith Irwin wrote: > Folks-- > > I need to rename my war file to meet some hosting / production /process > requirement. > > Changing the name is no problem. > > However, I'd like to be able to insert a date in the middle of it so I > can do something like: > > project-date-lifecycle.war > > Is there an obvious way to get a date (and format it) using jelly or > some other thing in maven.xml? > > Perusing the jelly core tags, I suppose I could instantiate a > jave.util.Date object, then a simple date formatter object, but that > seems like a lot of work. > > Alternately, I could manually change the element in > project.xml, or use some other property I manually set (using -D for > instance), but, well, it would be ever so much nicer if there was > something like: > > > > Do I dare hope? > > Keith > > > - > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: Constructing Dates on the Fly?
You might like to try war:install/deploy-snapshot which does this automatically with a UTC timestamp on the end as the version. To get a date yourself, are you sure there isn't a jelly taglib for that? I thought there was a or something, after all it is mimicing a lot of JSTL. You could also use an appropriate ant tag (although its been so long I've forgotten what its called - I think).
