title: buildnumber-maven-plugin and maven-assembly-plugin
body: <p>I've set up the <strong>buildnumber-maven-plugin</strong> to pull the version number from SVN and stash it away in the META-INF/MANIFEST.MF inside the jar. That works ok. </p>
  
  <p>But when I try to use it together with the <strong>maven-assembly-plugin</strong> to pack all the other libs together It doesn't seem to work, the version number stuff is not included in the manifest in the ...-jar-with-dependencies.jar. </p>
  
  <p>Has anybody managed to get them to work together? </p>
  
  <p>Alternatively: Is there a (reasonable simple) way to output the ${buildNumber} into a text file (.properties, perhaps) using Maven? An Ant task in Maven could do it I guess but is there an easier way? </p>
