This content can be found in c:\boot.ini (be aware this is a hidden system file).

[boot loader]
timeout=15
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
 
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect /NoExecute=OptIn
c:\wubildr.mbr="Ubuntu"

If we wish to start with Ubuntu instead we change default operative system as following

[boot loader]
timeout=15
default=c:\wubildr.mbr
 
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect /NoExecute=OptIn
c:\wubildr.mbr="Ubuntu"

Here is a simple ant target

<target name="get-revision">
  <exec executable="subWCRev.exe">
    <arg value="${srcBaseDir}"/>
    <arg value="${srcBaseDir}/revision.build"/>
    <arg value="${srcBaseDir}/deploy/revision.properties"/>
  </exec>
</target>

Where ${srcBaseDir} is the top directory of svn checkout (working copy), ${srcBaseDir}/revision.build is the template file and ${srcBaseDir}/deploy/revision.properties is the output file.

And content of the file revision.build

common.svn.revision = $WCREV$

Where $WCREV$ is the placeholder for the highest committed revision number. You can find more placeholders by running subWCRev.exe in cmd-promt.

The output to the file revision.properties will be,  for instance

common.svn.revision = 1001

Enjoy!
