I agree. If we think something parameterised is a good idea down the
track it could be considered as a more general, separate solution. I
wouldn't add it for this one use case :)

Just to clarify a bit further, I think it's probably acceptable and

to provide a property for the time and a separate one for the date. I
don't think we should bother with formatting...just use the Int

proposed earlier for reporting.

You know someone is going to also desire not just the timestamp, but
only
the time, or just the date. If you're doing the work now, might as
well
throw in the other 2.
Then they can use the buildnumber plugin for this. I don't subscribe
to
the slippery-slope theory that just because we make something a little
better means we need to add every possible permutation. I think in
most
cases, simply having a timestamp of any kind is better than nothing.
If
more customizability is desired, then a plugin is the place for it.
This particular issue has been sitting around for eons because we
couldn't agree on how to do it. I threw it into the .10 pile so we
could
just do something trivial to cover the 80% case.
