<h2><a name="buildnumber">BuildNumber</a></h2>
<h3>Description</h3>
<p>This is a basic task that can be used to track build numbers.</p>
<p>It will first attempt to read a build number from a file (by default,
<code>build.number</code> in the current directory), then
set the property <code>build.number</code> to the value that was read in
(or to <code>0</code>, if no such value). It will then increment the
number by one and write it back out to the file.
(See the
<a href="../OptionalTasks/propertyfile.html">PropertyFile</a> task
if you need finer control over things such as the property name or
the number format.)
</p>
