This plugin creates build.properites at target classpath with basic information about the build: artefact name and version, build time, git revision, git origin url, last few commits.

• Written properties should be readable by external tools/naked eyes
• Written properties should be configurable

Add this to project/plugins.sbt

addSbtPlugin("me.scf37.buildprops" % "sbt-build-properties" % "1.0.8")

Then, add this setting to project you want to write build.properties to:

Compile / resourceGenerators += buildProperties

To change set of properties written, override buildPropertiesSource task. To change target file name, override buildPropertiesTarget setting.
