What I thought of doing is to put a Subversion tag in my build.properties file. Something like the following: build.revision="$Rev: 24 $" That way, the build number will be in synch with my Subversion repository. But my question is: How do I extract this build number to use it in my build.xml tasks? (without the leading '$Rev' and trailing '$' characters). Thanks, Andre --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
