Netbeans - Show build number

I have a small java application that I'm developing that will be pushed to 5 - 10 computers at my company. I'm not using CSV or subversion for version control at this point.
As I'm developing alpha versions of the software, I would like to apply an incremental build number each time that I compile and test the program. I would like this variable to be visible through a JOptionPane.showMessage(..) pop-up pane (Help, About...)
I'm currently using NetBeans IDE 5.5 as my development environment and I'm not at all familiar with ant so I'd prefer a solution that doesn't use ant (or a link to a tutorial that will teach me enough about ant to use it... if that is the only solution)

If this app is meant to permanently be a small utility and you just need to know some sort of build number, why not just have the user e-mail you back the creation date on the .class files?
If this app is going to grow larger and have a long lifetime:
Put source control processes in place before it's too late.
Put a build process in place before it gets out of control.
I think a problem such as this is an indication that more process needs to be put into place. A temporary workaround will only last so long, and probably not long enough.

    I think you confuse standalone dbconsole with centralized gridcontrol. There's only ONE command to start database control: emctl start dbconsole. This command will start the integrated agent,too. No need to start the agent separately.

  • Use SVN build number in my pom.xml in JDeveloper

    I wonder if someone has already used the buildnumber-maven-plugin or any other way to insert the SVN revision number into their builds in JDeveloper.
    The way I have found requires svn to be installed separately because there is a commandline call to svn, but I'd like to use the SVN support JDeveloper gives me, mainly because JDeveloper already has my connection available to the repository.
    Who's done this before?
    thanks!

    Hi Pittsburgh,   
    Thanks for your post.
    Do you mean that you have added the custom activity in your build template to generate the custom build number, and the custom build number shows as expect in your TFS build result after build completed, but the custom build number doesn’t display in work
    item Found in Build dropdown?
    After the TFS build completed and the custom build number be generated, please check the
    Builds-teamprojectname global list in your TFS Server, please check if the completed custom build number be added in that global list or not.

    After upgrading to Exchange 2010 SP2 UR8 from SP2 UR6 the build number shows 14.02.0387.000 instead of
    14.2.390.3 as detailed in MS documentation.  Is this expected behavior?

    Yes, that is expected.

  • [svn] 2093: fix air-config. xml so that there are no hard-coded values for the build number.

    I need to add just one more thing and that is on battery life.  Last night I sat with the rMBP on my lap installing software, surfing the web, answering emails for close to 4 and 1/2 hours.  At the point I took it back to the charger it still was showing a computed battery time remaining of 3.5 hours.
    Today I had two VMs open and took the machine of the charger and sat outside with my dogs for about 30 minutes.  During this time I was working in both VMs, editing and compiling code.  My battery life estimate showed a good solid 4 hours. 
    This is roughly 6 times greater than what I had with my 2010 MBP and it too had a SSD.  I am not sure why but this retina MBP just seems to not work as hard doing anything that caused my 2010 MBP to struggle.
    While the battery life is certainly better than I expected it is clear that load can change that very rapidly. So I think I still need to visit clients with an external battery or charger in hand.  But I don't think I will be quite so scared that my laptop will simply run out of power before I can even get it plugged in.

  • Current Audition CS6 Build Number

    Just over a week ago I received an email from Adobe Systems containing a link to the Adobe Store. It 
    was for a downloadable complimentary upgrade to Audition CS6 from the boxed version of Audition CS5.5
    Upgrade.
    I installed Audition CS6 on my desktop PC which is running Windows XP Professional SP3.
    Since the installation, I've been struggling with a few issues that the program seems to have. I've
    spent the last week trying to determine what factors in my computer setup could be causing the
    problems. The issues I've been having might become the subject of other posts here on the forum, but
    only when I've exhausted all the routes of enquiry that I can think of.
    For now, it would be very helpful if at least a few people here could tell me the following about their
    versions of Audition CS6:
    The build number (as reported by Help / About Audition...);
    Whether Audition CS6 was from an installation disc or download;
    Whether it was an upgrade or a full version;
    Whether it came as part of a suite, or was bought as an individual component.
    My version:
    Adobe Audition CS6
    Version 5.0 Build 708;
    Download;
    Upgrade;
    Individual component.
    Many thanks,
    Steve.

    Hi Stephen.
    My installation of CS6 shows the same build number as yours and mine was also obtained via Download, as an Upgrade, and an Individual Component.
    So, in all respects mine is identical to yours, except I had to buy the upgrade from CS5.5 because I adopted that version quite soon after it was released.

  • RU5 Build Number

    On the weekend I was able to apply SP3 successfully along with RU5.  However, the odd thing is the build number doesn't appear to be correct.  When I query the exchange server for the build number in PowerShell I get 14.3.123.4
    (SP3's build number), but I should see 14.3.181.6
    which would be the correct build number of Exchange 2010 SP3 RU5.  
    When I go into Control Panel, Programs and view the list of installed updates I see that "Update Rollup 5 for Exchange Server 2010 Service Pack 3" was applied successfully.
    Any one else run into this minor issue, is this a known bug in RU5?
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    After you install an update rollup for Exchange 2010, the version of Exchange Server isn't updated to show that the update rollup is installed. This issue occurs because the version number that is displayed by the Exchange Management Console or by other
    administrative mechanisms is obtained from the Exchange Server Object in Active Directory.
    To get the correct information of version, you can run the following cmdlet to check.
    GCM exsetup |%{$_.Fileversioninfo}
    Here is a related blog which can help you to understand this for your reference.
    Dude, where's my rollup?

  • IPhone 5 Sprint shows wrong number in All Contacts. How can I change it in iOS 7.1?

    I bought an iPhone 5 16GB for sprint on eBay. When I swapped phone it wouldn't let me call out or text. My data worked but everything else didn't. I switched from a galaxy s3. Now the weird part is that Under All Contacts it doesn't show my number. Same thing under Setting>Phone. Both were wrong and I don't know what to do
    I called sprint and best buy. I did the ##update# numerous times. What can I do to fix this? It's on IOS 7.1. Any advice?
    I would greatly appreciate it.

    iMessage and FaceTime work with iCloud. Change your Apple I.D in iCloud as well as in iMessage (SETTINGS - MESSAGES). Either turn off and on again iMessage and it would ask you to sign in with your Apple I.D or change it at "Receive at" by clicking on "Apple I.D" (Sign out and sign in with your new Apple I.D.)
