Timestamps on builds

(Some?) pages of the treebase-dev site should contain a timestamp of the build (ex. Version: 2.2.1 Built: 03/26/2010 12:43 PM ), as an indication what version is being run on a given instance. Ideally, this should include source code version from SVN.

To make the timestamp invisible on production, there are a couple options:

• Put it inside an <!-- --> HTML comment.
• Make it's JSP rendering conditional depending on the value of the parameter like amIProduction that comes from Tomcat via JNDI.

If you look in the html source of any page and you scroll all the way
down to 'p class="footerLogo"' it will show the SVN revision of that
deployment. At least, this used to work back when MJD and I were using
the 'publish' script, which used
${TREEBASE_HOME}/treebase-core/src/main/java/org/cipres/treebase/Version.java
as a little servlet to embed the SVN revision in the footer.jsp (this
is done by deleting and then updating this version file). Perhaps this
can be re-instated?
