[Rabbit-dev] Ant build script for RabbIT 4.2

[Mindaugas Žakšauskas]

My evening regex exercise:

Input string:
public static final String VERSION = "RabbIT proxy version 4.2";

Regex to get major/minor version ("4.2"): "[^ ]*$"
Regex to get minor version ("2"): "[^\\.]*$"
Regex to get major version ("4"): "\\d(?=\\.)"

This then needs to be put into a class, which Ant executes and sets
relevant variables.
All doable but looks like shooting a sparrow with a cannon (and what
if VERSION format will change?). Overengineering sucks.

It's probably easier to keep this out of main trunk (contrib, anyone?)
and put a big warning for users so they don't forget to change the
numbers.
