How to automatically generate compile timestamp? [message #249526]

I want to generate compile timestamp (linke c/c++ __DATE__ macro) for
product version management.

Can Eclipse run an external script file which updates and outputs the
MyVersion.java file before building the project?

Or is there any better method to generate compile timestamp?

Thank you!
Allen

Yes, you can set up a custom Builder that invokes an Ant script (or
another arbitrary program) to do that. Open the Project properties and
select the Builders section, where you can define a new Builder and move
it above the Java Builder.
If you want more details, see the Eclipse Help, Workbench User Guide.

Hope this helps,
Eric
