One possible solution:
1) Have a token at the begning of each file, something like <%--
@version.number@ --%>
2) Use Ant increment a build number. This link as some very useful info
http://www.jguru.com/faq/view.jsp? EID=481664
3) Substitute the token in step (1) with the current build number.
Pro: Its automated. Guaranted the same results every time.
Con: [Minor] depending on the number of jsp files token substitution
may take a while.
The above steps have worked for me. In my case i didn't have substitute the
all for all the jsp pages just a release notes page.
Hope this helps,
