@vanzin can you clarify, you mean antrun + echo to generate the properties
file part or more? You still have to call the other commands to get the git
info, md5 info, etc.
Personally I like the plugin better as its more extensible and easier to do
things cleanly in java then in shell. There is logic in there for different
version control systems, none, svn, git. We probably don't need svn at this
point. Personally I would rather see this then writing shell or ant scripts.
Using java keeps it less os dependent as well. Since the code is used by other
projects we know it works and it wasn't very hard to copy it and slightly
modify for Sparks use.
I forgot we were still using sbt for development. so we will have to look
into that. Last I knew sbt couldn't use the maven plugin so it will have to be
handled separately. I guess the question there is whether it needs to be real
information since its not the official build tool
