===How do I set the version number?===

There are two ways to set the version number shown in the Help... About dialog.

* The easy way is to set the system property &lt;tt&gt;netbeans.buildnumber&lt;/tt&gt; to some value in your application.  
* The harder way is to put this key/value &lt;tt&gt;currentVersion=My Product 1.2.3&lt;/tt&gt; into the file named &lt;tt&gt;"branding/modules/org-netbeans-core.jar/org/netbeans/core/ui/Bundle.properties"&lt;/tt&gt; below your suite, then rebuild and run.
* In NB 6.5 and later is the file location different: &lt;tt&gt;"branding/core/core.jar/org/netbeans/core/startup/Bundle.properties"&lt;/tt&gt;


===How do I set the version number automatically in maven-based applications?===

Within your branding-module use Maven placeholders in Bundle.properties and  within the pom.xml filter the bundle by the maven-resources-plugin.

'''Note:''' Some of the files below are ignored by default in version control by Netbeans so you might need to add them to preserve the changes.

src/main/nbm-branding/core/core.jar/org/netbeans/core/startup/Bundle.properties:
&lt;pre&gt;
currentVersion=My app ${project.version}
LBL_splash_window_title=Starting My app ${project.version}
&lt;/pre&gt;

src/main/nbm-branding/modules/org-netbeans-core-windows.jar/org/netbeans/core/windows/view/ui/Bundle.properties:
&lt;pre&gt;
CTL_MainWindow_Title=My app ${project.version}
CTL_MainWindow_Title_No_Project=My app ${project.version}
&lt;/pre&gt;

src/main/nbm-branding/modules/org-netbeans-core.jar/org/netbeans/core/ui/Bundle.properties:
&lt;pre&gt;
LBL_ProductInformation=My app ${project.version}
&lt;/pre&gt;


pom.xml:
&lt;pre&gt;
    &lt;build&gt;
        &lt;resources&gt;
            &lt;resource&gt;
                &lt;directory&gt;${basedir}/src/main/nbm-branding&lt;/directory&gt;
                &lt;!-- f.e. allow replacing ${project.version} in all property files below src/main/nbm-branding --&gt;
                &lt;includes&gt;
                    &lt;include&gt;**/*.properties&lt;/include&gt;
                &lt;/includes&gt;
                &lt;filtering&gt;true&lt;/filtering&gt;
                &lt;targetPath&gt;${basedir}/target/filtered-nbm-branding&lt;/targetPath&gt;
            &lt;/resource&gt;
        &lt;/resources&gt;
        &lt;plugins&gt;
            &lt;plugin&gt;
                &lt;groupId&gt;org.codehaus.mojo&lt;/groupId&gt;
                &lt;artifactId&gt;nbm-maven-plugin&lt;/artifactId&gt;
                &lt;configuration&gt;
                    &lt;!-- use previously filtered branding sources --&gt;
                    &lt;brandingSources&gt;${basedir}/target/filtered-nbm-branding&lt;/brandingSources&gt;
                &lt;/configuration&gt;
            &lt;/plugin&gt;
            &lt;!-- ... --&gt;
        &lt;/plugins&gt;
    &lt;/build&gt;
