This is definitely not redundant. This is exactly what I need!

buildnumber includes tons of excess junk (even more than Maven itself which is already ridiculously bloated). I just want a simple timestamp in my build (especially since we don’t use SVN which is required by buildnumber, even if you just want the timestamp).

Thanks for making this!

buildnumber has evolued but the tag SCM is required even if you only needs the timestamp. To my mind itâ€™s not redundant

It seems that the buildnumber plugin has evolved to support timestamps too. This would make my plugin seem redundant.

I opted for the manual process as this seems easier to do. Look at http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MAVENUPLOAD-2338 for progress updates.

To be honest, after reviewing the process for adding stuff to central I didn’t want to go through with it. It would probably take very much time and months to get it approved. But since I’ve already been asked about it several times, I’ll give in an give it a real shot. Don’t expect to see this in central very soon though.

It’s nice, but I can’t really use it unless it’s on the Maven repository. Do you have an idea when it will be integrated?

Best regards,
