[ale] Java Make Files

[webmaster at tinyminds.org (Mark Angeli)]

I know very little about java programming, though my brother is becoming
quite good at it (He has a functioning IM client/server that he's working
on...)

His email is pilotg2 at thehangingpen.com

I'm trying to incorporate Build Dates and Version in java code.  I can
not use defines like I can with C so I cam up with a Solution.

Is this the best way?



#
# We can not use defines in Java so we
# dynamically create a class that stores
# the build date for the clock
#

version:
        echo "public class BuildVersion {"                            >
BuildVersion.java
        echo "    private static String Date = \"$(BDATE)\";"        >>
BuildVersion.java
        echo "    private static String Version  = \"$(Version)\";"  >>
BuildVersion.java
        echo " "                                                     >>
BuildVersion.java
        echo "    public static String getVersionString() {"         >>
BuildVersion.java
        echo "        return Version + Date;"                        >>
BuildVersion.java
        echo "    }"                                                 >>
BuildVersion.java
        echo "}"                                                     >>
BuildVersion.java
