Suppose you have a Java Server application, and some of the runtime binaries in that application are external to your application. Generated image files, compiled Silverlight components in your pages, or resource files which are managed by an external team. Much like the jar files used by your application, these external binaries can be seen…

This mojo is designed to get a unique build number for each time you build your project. So while your version may remain constant at 1.0-SNAPSHOT for many iterations until release, you will have a build number that can uniquely identify each build during that time. The build number is obtained from scm, and in particular, at this time, from svn. You can then place that build number in metadata, which can be accessed from your app, if desired.
