In the immortal word of Homer Simpson, "D'oh!" I got it: The ${buildNumber}
property is now defined so I can add it to my META-INF/MANIFEST.MF with the
jar or war plugin. That's excellent, and much easier than the old way we
did it with Ant. Thank you.
BTW, the link "on how to version your projects with this
plugin<http://apollo.ucalgary.ca/tlcprojectswiki/index.php/Public/Project_Versioning_-_Best_Practices#Build_Versioning>"
is broken, but reading MANIFEST.MF is simple (and numerous examples can be
found via Google).
