Is there a built-in way or special tag I should use to get the build id
into an about.mappings file for my plugin? I am using the PDE headless
build to generate my plugins and features and want to pass the build id
automatically into the about.mappings file.
Thanks,
Mack Phelps

A little more information to explain what I am having problems with.
I am building in an Eclipse V3.1.0 environment including WTP Project
tools.
The plugin that I am attempting to build has a build.properties which
specifies the about.ini, about.properties and about.mappings files so they
are produced in bin output.
The about.ini file has the aboutText=%blurb
The about.properties has a blurb= with the appropriate text with {0}
insert for the build id
The about.mappings has a 0=@build@ for the build id
In my build.properties that controls the headless build, I have
timestamp=20060209
buildId=dev
buildType=N
Everything seems to work correctly except that the @build@ is not replaced
in my about.mappings file during the headless build process, and it shows
up in the about text blurb when I click on my installed feature. The
Eclipse About Features SDK shows "Build id: @build@ " where I would
expect the build timestamp
Any help on what I should do or specify to get the build timestamp placed
in my about.mappings file would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Mack Phelps

This is replaced manually using the ant 'replace' task prior to the build being executed as part of the manual process. Depending on what/how you're invoking the build, unless you've got this step when you build the feature, you won't see it. (In other words, it's not like an internationalisation step; it's a find-and-replace step.)
