  <target name="build">
    <propertyfile file="buildnumber">
      <entry key="buildnumber" type="int" default="0" operation="+" />
    </propertyfile>
    <property file="buildnumber" />
    <echo message="buildnumber: ${buildnumber}" />
  </target>

The above will read in the property file 'buildnumber' and increment the
value
of the property 'buildnumber' by one.

This value is then save to the property file.
