put the version in the Manifest file

... META-INF/MANIFEST.MF

as Jan already suggested

you may also put the versionstring in the header of some html/jsp file
to
make it visible for the user/tester of your webapp

if you want to read the Versionstring out of your
Manifest later you could go with a little script =

Manifest:mf may look like :

Manifest-Version: 1.0
Ant-Version: Apache Ant 1.6.5
Created-By: 1.4.2_05-b04 (Sun Microsystems Inc.)
Build-By: buildmaster
Specification-Title: MyApp Extended
Specification-Version: v_1.0
...

and get it with :

<script language="ruby"><![CDATA[
         pattern = /^Spec.+V.+:(.*)$/
         File.open('path/to/your/MANIFEST.MF').each do |line|
            if md = line.match(pattern)
                puts 'Version = '<<md[1].strip
	     # make version available for further ant processing
                $project.setProperty("warversion",md[1].strip)
            end
         end
     ]]></script>

Subject: setting source version in war file

It is required for me to identify the source version of my war file.

Example:

Test.war    -   1.0 version
Test.war    -   1.1 version
Test.war    -   1.2 version

Imagine I made war file from build.xml.
This war file if unjared then from manifest file I need to identify the
version of source code.

so, How to set the source version to my war file ?
