How to get the build number into a jar?

[Peter Laman]

I'm new to Bamboo and I'm asked to make sure the build number is displayed in the about dialog of a web application. The server is .java and I want the build number to be present in a resource file in the generated fat jar.

How can I do this (or is there a better practice)?

Hello @Peter Laman

In your build, use the environment variable bamboo.buildNumber or (bamboo_buildNumber if running from a Shell script).
