Goals Overview

The DellRoad Stuff plugin has these goals:

• dellroad:git-describe invokes git describe to set a project property. This allows you to automatically incorporate git versioning information into your project.
• dellroad:svn-version invokes svnversion to set a project property. This allows you to automatically incorporate Subversion versioning information into your project.
• dellroad:exec-set-property is a generalization of the above two goals that executes an arbitrary command and sets a project property from the resulting output.
