You're going to wrong way.
Pass into your Ant build the version number like so: ant
-Dversion=XX.YY.ZZ clean build test.
Then use the <replace> task to replace a token in your Java file. Even
better, you store that number in MANIFEST.MF and update it with the <jar>
task. Or, use a properties file. That way your dev's aren't the ones that
set the version, your build controller/cm person does.
Oh, and just grab ${version} and use it in your <jar> task like so: <jar
destfile="Jmol.${version}.jar">...</jar>

Extracting application version from Java file
Hi,
In one of my Java source file, I have a line like this:
public final static String version = "XX.YY.ZZ";
I'd like to extract the XX.YY.ZZ from the Ant build to name the
resulting jar file with it : Jmol.XX.YY.ZZ.jar
Can someone help me with how to extract the string from the file ?
Thanks in advance,
Nicolas
