BuildnumberMojo

Buildnumber mojo

The standard build info is unfortunately missing some information which is useful to have included in artifacts. The buildnumber mojo puts the following pieces into the jar's META-INF/deegree/buildinfo.properties:

• build.artifactId - the module's artifactId
• build.by - the user.name system property's value
• build.date - the date of the build (maven's buildTimestamp property)
• build.svnrev - the scm revision number (maven's buildNumber property), this is usually the latest git commit id when used in conjunction with the buildnumber maven plugin

The default phase is generated-resources.

It is recommended to use it together with the buildnumber-maven-plugin like this:

<plugin>
  <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
  <artifactId>buildnumber-maven-plugin</artifactId>
  <version>1.0</version>
  <executions>
    <execution>
      <phase>validate</phase>
      <goals>
        <goal>create</goal>
      </goals>
    </execution>
  </executions>
  <configuration>
    <revisionOnScmFailure>${buildTimestamp}</revisionOnScmFailure>
    <getRevisionOnlyOnce>true</getRevisionOnlyOnce>
  </configuration>
</plugin>
