<ant:buildnumber doesn't work. It doesn't do any action.
I used the following goals
<goal name="vsrm:load-build-info">
<ant:property file="buildinfo.properties"/>
<ant:echo>Previous Build Number : ${previous.build.number}</ant:echo>
<ant:echo>Previous Build Date : ${previous.build.date}</ant:echo>
<ant:echo>Current Build Number : ${build.number}</ant:echo>
<j:set var="cvs.tag.previous.build"
value="${cvs.tag.prefix}${previous.build.number}"/>
<j:set var="cvs.tag.current.build"
value="${cvs.tag.prefix}${build.number}"/>
<ant:echo>${cvs.tag.previous.build}</ant:echo>
<ant:echo>${cvs.tag.current.build}</ant:echo>
</goal>
<goal name="vsrm:update-build-info" prereqs="vsrm:load-build-info">
<ant:propertyfile file="buildinfo.properties"
comment="My properties">
<ant:entry key="previous.build.number"
value="${build.number}" default="0"/>
<ant:entry key="previous.build.date" type="date"
value="now" pattern="MM-dd-yyyy HH:mm:ss"/>
<ant:entry key="build.number" type="int"
default="${build.number}" operation="+"/>
</ant:propertyfile>
</goal>

I am curious why you need to do this. Doesn't buildnumber set a property
(build.number) for you? Why not just use it?
If you really need to mess with properties file, the PropertyFile
optional
task(http://ant.apache.org/manual/OptionalTasks/propertyfile.html) may
help
you.
