He could also be given a way to increment minor release and major release. The build should be automatically incremented when a change in build number of the scm is detected. I dunno whether this should be implemented in continuum or maven.. where do u think best jesse? Having said all about version number, this is by no means to mix it up with the versioning mechanism of the available scm (I'm against mixing concerns of scm and build & integration tools such as maven & continuum)...IMHO it's a different thing.. In scm the talk is probably about branching for group dev, disk space saving?? But I think in build tool the concern is more in the version of the functionality to deliver.. Best regards, Johan Just my 2 cents
