Is there a way to specify $ GlobalRev $ in a file using Subclipse for Eclipse

Question

I know how to get the local version number in a file with Eclipse. Right-click the command, set the property, then svn: keywords Id.

But how do you get $ GlobalRev $? There's something called svnversion that should do this, but is it integrated into Subclipse?

Answer 1

Subversion does not support the $ GlobalRev $ keyword concept. There is a command line tool called svnversion that will output versions for stdout. You can combine this with a script to write this to a file. This is asked all the time, so there is a FAQ:
