<subsection name="Build Number">
<p> Build Number is a tool to track software artifacts such as files and automatically assign
proper version/build numbers to them. It ensures that two different artifacts will have different
version/build numbers, but identical artifacts/builds will be assigned the same number. It doesn't
take version management away from you and doesn't replace your build process, but rather plugs
into the process and introduces version/build number governance by defining who is in charge of
which part of version number. With Build Number you are still in charge of the head of the version
number. E.g. you may decide to have 4 numbers in your version (major, minor, interface, implementation)
and you want to manage the two first numbers (major and minor). Build Number will take care of the
tedium of managing the last two numbers (interface and implementation). </p>

run on MIDP for Palm OS. Deployment is supported via a
deployment task and a corresponding HTTP servlet for
Over-the-Air (OTA) provisioning. A small preprocessor allows
to generate different variants of a MIDlet from a single

preprocessing capabilities and the integrated device database.
With J2ME Polish no hardcoded values are needed and the portability of an
application is not sacrificed, even though highly optimized applications are
created from a single source.
<br/>
It contains a logging framework and an optional MIDP-compatible GUI
which can be designed using the web-standard CSS. With the J2ME Polish GUI
you can even use MIDP/2.0 features on MIDP/1.0 phones.

strings into ResourceBundle files with invarient keys based
on the hash code of the strings's value. This is handled
automatically and transparently; no intervention is
required.</li>
<li>Fast. Negligible impact on build times. By default,
skips inputs whose outputs are up to date to avoid
triggering recompilations.</li>

graphical, shell and ant interfaces.</li>

Interface (JNI). It includes a code generator that
generates both Java "proxy" classes to access C
"peer" classes, and C "proxy" classes to access
Java "peer" classes or interfaces. It also
includes a core library with a simplified JVM
interface as well as "helper" classes to ease
working with the JNI data types. The code
generation is driven by an XML project file that
can be created with the assistance of the GUI
Project Manager. The code generation can be
invoked either from Ant or from the
GUI. Includes a comprehensive printable PDF User
Guide and plenty of examples.</p>
