Easy way to access SVN revision in code?

[BradAMiller]

For the automated builds of the C++ WPILib libraries we use sliksvn (a command line svn tool) and a .vbs script that executes an svn command and gets the version number. It uses it to name the installer based on the svn version number.

Thank you for the quick reply, Brad!

Do you know if there is an easy way to do this with Java's build system? (ANT)

This works for ant:

<condition property="isWindows">
<os family="windows" />
</condition>

<target name="do.run.Windows" if="isWindows">
<exec executable="cmd" dir="${your-target-dir}" >
<arg line="/C command-to-run arg1 arg2 arg3" />
</exec>
</target>
