[Anthill-pro] Making the Anthill build number value available to Ant build files?

[Eric Minick]

Paul,

The anthill.version property was automatic in Anthill version 2. There 
were a number of automatic properties in place but adding new ones or 
changing the names of the automatic ones was difficult. In 3.0 we 
changed it to have no automatic properties, but relatively easy addition 
of new properties. You can name the property whatever you want, but to 
pass the latest stamp value in to that property you'll need the 
${bsh:WorkspaceVersion.get())  construct.

Regards,

Eric
