title: is it possible to get an xPages build number?
body: <p>I do all development in a single application. when a new version is ready I create a template and give it a version number. this way I can store a history of all previous versions.</p>
  
  <p>the development templates are used to push the new design to many applications via replace design.</p>
  
  <p>Creating manual version number or template names is fine but I am looking for a more automatic way of finding out which build the different applications are inherited from</p>
  
  <p>When I visit the different applications I would like to be able to see which build number each application are inherited from. is this possible?</p>
  
  <p>A simple build time stamp could do, but is there a built in build number that can be used and that can be displayed on the xpage.</p>
  
  <p>e.g Build 2012092712345</p>
  
  <p>Update:
  Thank you for all your answers, many good suggestions but it looks like all require manual work. </p>
  
  <p>The best solution would be if there is a way to read (from ssjs) a timestamp from any file within the nsf that is always updated during a build. is this possible?</p>
