Hello all, I believe I may have a nice little tool which may come in handy for some people; at least I hope it does.
The goal of this task was for me to have Ant take care of both the build number and the version number in my software. I could have just used a build in task to take care of build number increments. This would be fine, if I didn't use a special pattern for build numbers. To my knowledge, there is no build in Ant task that will update a version number in a Java class for me. With this being said, i decided to do it myself. I'm not sure if these Ant tasks will be helpful to anyone. If anyone has any comments, suggestions, gripes, complaints, please let me know. The task is a fairly simple one. I wrote it for myself and I figured I would give it to anyone who would want it.
