I run this prior to a build.
It copies the highest revision number into a properties file
Of course it depends on the existence of awk and backtick command
substitution.
If you use Ant there is probably a way to do this more efficiently
echo "svnversion=`svn list -Rv <working copy root>/ |awk '{ if($1 > max)
max=$1}END{print(max)}'`" > <desitnation
directory>/currentversion.properties
The resultant currentversion.properties has:
svnversion=xxx
