Parameterize documentation sources so that release-time variables (like 
copyright year and release id) can be plugged in when we build a release

                 Key: DERBY-4851
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-4851
             Project: Derby
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Documentation
            Reporter: Rick Hillegas


Right now there are a number of strings which have to be updated in the user 
guides every time that we cut a branch or generate a release candidate. We 
should parameterize these strings so that the build script can fill them in. 
Probably we will have to use the ant substitution task for this because there 
is no obvious way to do this via DITA.

These are the variables I am aware of. Please let me know if there are others:

Latest copyright year (currently 2010)
2 part version number (e.g., 10.7) (this is plugged into the ij script output, 
among other uses)
4 part version number (e.g. 10.7.1.0)
subversion revision number (e.g. 1000400)
