Question

Is there a way to inject the current SVN number in a Java variable? I want every class to have a private static variable which holds the SVN revision value?

Answer 1

Right answer is not keywords, but

• using SubWCRev,
• storing in repo SubWCRev templates
• processing templates into real code by build-system

When instead of path to WC path to single file used in SubWCRev call, $WCREV$ from template expanded to revision of last modification for file, not global last revision for repo

char *Revision   = "$WCREV$";

will be converted in readable, nice

char *Revision   = "298";
