Every additional run will update the build information of this file by incrementing it by one. If you call the programm with java -jar AutoVersionGenerator -incrementMinorVersion, it will also increment the minorVersion counter. It is usefull to do this after every released version.
The major version can only be changed by editing the file manually. You should also reset the minorVersion.
If you specify the parameter -class , the javafile is specified by classname. If it contains a package name, the file will be stored in the packages path and an package statement will also be generated.
