Not an issue with the plugin but an issue that can affect the plugin.

I was setting up another developers machine from scratch and after importing a working project into eclipse immediately got a:

com.code54.mojo:buildversion-plugin:1.0.1:set-properties failed: java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "git" (in directory "C:\xxx/xxx/xxx/xxx"): CreateProcess error=2, The system cannot find the file specified (com.code54.mojo:buildversion-plugin:1.0.1:set-properties:default:initialize)

error with the pom.xml configuration.

Knowing that (a) the project had worked on the other machine I felt this was not a plugin problem but possibly an issue with the git that had just been installed on the machine.

Opening a command prompt, going to the C:\xxx/xxx/xxx/xxx directory and executing a:

git log --oneline --decorate=short --first-parent

command I saw this as the first line of output form the command ...

"WARNING: terminal is not fully functional"

Looking at the working machine indicated that the version of git was 1.7.11.msysgit.1 while the version on the non-working machines was 1.7.10.msysgit.0. A quick upgrade to mysysgit and everything was fine.

I mention this situation here as it would be the logical place someone would start looking for things that prevent the awesome buildversion-plugin from working.

Please feel free to immediately close this issue.

Thank you for the detailed report.

If it happens again, it'd nice to know if the "WARNING..." line is in stdout or stderr.
