Adding the current date with Maven2 filtering

Feature does not work with maven 2.2.1 resource filtering.

See: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MRESOURCES-99

But you could create a custom property in the parent pom:

<properties>
    <maven.build.timestamp.format>yyMMdd_HHmm</maven.build.timestamp.format>
    <buildNumber>${maven.build.timestamp}</buildNumber>
</properties>

Where buildNumber is the new property that can be filtered into the resources.
