How can I generate an incremental build number (which I'd like to store as in a property for later use in the Ant script)?
I only want the build number to be incremented each time I execute a specific target (a "compile" target for example; I don't need to increment it when I execute a target to generate javadocs...). However, I would like the most recent build number to be available to all targets (I'd like to retrieve this during execution of an "init" target). I had thought of using a properties file to store a build number... but I can't see any way of verifying whether the file contained the appropriate property name (important), and whether it was an integer (not so important, but useful). I had imagined writing a simple Java class to load the specified properties file and increment the build number (this would be run from my "compile" target as a <Java> task). Any suggestions?
