Guys, Thanks for your responses. What I really want to do is pass the current system date and or time to a properties file. I already know what I need to do to filter in maven but I'm trying to figure out the best way to get these variables in a build.properties file for example. I'm currently using Maven 2.0.6. Some projects are building with java 1.4 and some with java 1.5.
