vcsversion

An ant task to provide revision, date and branch properties of the project for use in a build.xml. Currently supports Git, Mercurial, Subversion, Bazaar and BitKeeper.

Use as follows:

    <taskdef name="vcsversion" classname="com.mebigfatguy.vcsversion.VcsVersionTask" classpath="${lib.dir}/vcsversion.jar"/>
    <vcsversion vcs="git" revisionProperty="_rev_" dateProperty="_date_" branchProperty="_branch_"/>
    
    or you can use the namespace 
    
    xmlns:vcs="antlib:com.mebigfatguy.vcsversion"
    
    to include the 'vcsversion' task automatically.

Then you can use your properties anywhere in the build.xml, such as

    <manifest>
        <attribute name="Revision" value="${_rev_}"/>
        <attribute name="Date" value="${_date_}"/>
        <attribute name="Branch" value="${_branch_}"/>
        <attribute name="URL" value=${_url_}"/>
    </manifest>

You do not need to supply all attributes, only the ones you want. (Note, the URL attribute is available from 0.4.0 onwards).

VcsVersion is available at maven central with:

    GroupId:    com.mebigfatguy.vcsversion
    ArtifactId: vcsversion
    Version:    0.5.0
