When Maven builds a jar, it writes a file named pom.properties to:
/META-INF/maven///pom.properties
It looks like this:
#Generated by Maven
#Thu Sep 13 15:43:41 PDT 2007
version=2.0
groupId=org.apache.maven.plugins
artifactId=maven-ant-plugin
You can just read this file directly to access the version, using
ClassLoader.getResourceAsStream().
