How can I do this?
I want to get the build number from the checked out branch and build it with Maven. Later in my java application I want to use the buildNumber variable as a Revision ID so i'll have more specific details on each project build.
I am currently using this code for getting the buildNumber and use resource filtering on it in a build.properties file but the ${buildNumber} from the file doesn't get updated with the revision number.
