Maven. Get result of execution some shell comand

Question

I would like to get result of execution some shell command (git rev-list HEAD --count) like a content of tag. Something like this:

<git-count>git rev-list HEAD --count</git-count>

Is there a way to do that?

You know that `git rev-list HEAD --count` doesn't unambiguously identify a commit? Regardless of whether this is important I suggest you consider `git describe`. — Magnus Bäck, Jan 28 '14 at 20:21

I suggest you create a shell script, run git count in that script and pass the resulting variable to maven, e.g.

#!/bin/sh

GIT_COUNT=$( git rev-list HEAD --count )

mvn install "-Dgit-count=${GIT_COUNT}"
