[pde-build-dev] Timestamp in build.properties

Hi,

Would someone kindly explain what is the purpose of the timestamp property
in the build.properties file? It is set to 007 by default. I'm working on
build automation for our product and would like to include timestamp as a
build id in about.mappings but it is not working out of the box for some
reason. I also tried to do it in the postFetch target in the
customTargets.xml as

<target name="postFetch">
	<replace dir="${buildDirectory}/plugins" value="${timestamp}"
token="@build@">
		<include name="**/about.mappings" />
	</replace>
</target>

but ended up with the value 007 as build id, which is how timestamp is
defined in build.properties. Qualifiers of my plugins get substituted with a
timestamp but this timestamp value seem to be inaccessible outside of the
eclipse.buildScript task. I'm using 3.3.1.1 as builder. I searched here and
there but could not find an answer so please accept my apologies for asking
this on the dev list. 

Thanks,
Vladimir
