Hi all,
I was looking for something to make the date a WAR was built available in the app, so I
wanted this stored as a properties file in the resources directory. I've found the plugin
maven-buildnumber-plugin which seems to populate a ${buildNumber} and ${timestamp} values.
This works fine when I use ${buildNumber} within the POM as part of the <finalName /> but
doesn't do anything when I try to pass it through as property for a filtered parameter.
Could it be that the plugin hasn't run yet when the properties are resolved? Maybe I need
a different goal than "create'?
Any thoughts?
<snippets are below>
-----------------------------------------
test.properties - in the resources folder
-----------------------------------------
application.build.number=${timestamps}
application.build.date=${buildNumbers}
test=${buildNumber}
test2=${timestamp}
