Sorry for dely in replying... I tried tstamp ant task, but it gives me the
date and time in the format I specify in pattern, while I wanted a long
value produced by System.currentTimeMillis() in the created file.

Thanks for your response.
Regards
Ravi.

Did you look at the tstamp task?

       <tstamp>
          <format property = "some-property" pattern =
"yyyy-MM-dd_HH-mm-ss"/>
       </tstamp>
