Answer 1

Define a dummy SCM and then use buildNumber item to get sequential build number instead of value defined by revisionOnScmFailure property.

pom.xml:

    
        scm:svn:http://127.0.0.1/dummy
        scm:svn:https://127.0.0.1/dummy
        HEAD
        http://127.0.0.1/dummy
    

    
      

        ...

        
            org.codehaus.mojo
            buildnumber-maven-plugin
            1.1
            
            
                buildnumber
                validate
                
                create
                
            
            
            
                {0,number}
                
                buildNumber
                                    
                false
                false
