Thanks, I'll give it another try Julian.
The workaround is holding together though and has proven pretty reliable in
terms of getting ant properties into the filtering phase :)

It works fine for me. Did you configure it to use a timestamp rather than
scm? It won't check scm at all if configured like that. Try this:
1. mvn archetype:create -DgroupId=ca.ucalgary.commons -DartifactId=test
2. Add this to your pom:
<repositories>
<repository>
<id>tlc-snapshots</id>
<name>TLC Snapshot Development Repository</name>
<url>http://commons.ucalgary.ca/pub/m2-snapshots</url>
</repository>

<pluginRepository>

</pluginRepository>
</pluginRepositories>
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-buildnumber-plugin</artifactId>
<version>0.9.2-SNAPSHOT</version>
<configuration>
<format>{0,date,yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss}</format>
<items>
<item>timestamp</item>
</items>
</configuration>
</plugin>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<archive>
<manifestEntries>
<Implementation-Build>${buildNumber}</Implementation- Build>
</manifestEntries>
</archive>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
3. mvn buildnumber:create package
4. Check out the Implementation-Build property in META-INF/ MANIFEST.MF
inside of test-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar

You can use the maven-buildNumber-plugin.
http://commons.ucalgary.ca/projects/maven-buildnumber-plugin/ howto.html
Near the bottom it tells you how to use a timestamp.
There was some talk of making the build date a more globally available
property (negating the need for this plugin), but I don't know what it
is, or if it was done.
