Create a manifest file each time a project is built

I am looking for a way that where each time city creates/starts a build it also creates a manifest file with information about the build like time date, the person who invoked the build etc etc.

Any ideas?

Solution

  • If you are using Ant, use the Manifest task: https://ant.apache.org/manual/Tasks/manifest.html

    If you are using Maven, configure the Jar plugin to customise the manifest: http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-jar-plugin/examples/manifest-customization.html

    If you're using some other build tool, consult its documentation.

    Whichever you use, they can use environment variables set by TeamCity.
