I just want to clarify:
If I need to change this aim_version.properties file to use ${version} or
whatever, that's fine with me. If I need to change the name or move this to
another location, that's fine too. If we have to make this an XML file
instead of a properties file, that's fine too.
We use Hudson as our build system, and we simply need the Hudson build
number in this file. We also need this file to sit outside the generated EAR
which is why we use an assembly. (We also have a bunch of other
configuration files and shell scripts that sit outside the ear too, so
having an assembly isn't a problem).
If this was a file inside a JAR or WAR, I could use resource filtering, but
this file has to be easily accessible, so our tech services people can
verify the installation.
I simply need a way to put the Hudson build number (which I can pick up from
the command line) into a file that is easily accessible to our tech services
guys.
