a poroper continues integration system provides a build nuimber for you when you use cruisecontrol for example
the main problem with just incrementing a file/number for your builds comes to the fore when you have multiple people working on a project. either you have to commit this number via a properties file and force an update each time someone compiles using this script making the process more cumbersome to manage. there are several scenarios which are a pain. anyway, go read up about it. setting up cruisecontrol does not take longer than a few hours and will really save you time in the long run.

Something that checks out your current code, compiles it, tests it, and then reports back. You'd generally set this up to run every night / weekend and then triage any faults as a group. What this has to do with a build number, I'm not sure. -- Tom Chiverton Helping to assertively visualize intuitive methodologies on: http://thefalken.livejournal.com **************************************************** This email is sent for and on behalf of Halliwells LLP.
