| <h2><a name="buildnumber">BuildNumber</a></h2> |
| <h3>Description</h3> |
| <p>This is a basic task that can be used to track build numbers.</p> |
| <p>It will first attempt to read a build number from a file (by default, |
| <code>build.number</code> in the current directory), then |
| set the property <code>build.number</code> to the value that was read in |
| (or to <code>0</code>, if no such value). It will then increment the |
| number by one and write it back out to the file. |
| (See the |
| <a href="../OptionalTasks/propertyfile.html">PropertyFile</a> task |
| if you need finer control over things such as the property name or |
| the number format.) |
| </p> |
