Hi Jeff, If I'm understanding correctly, this is more of a Maven question, since you want it inside the artifact before it is deployed. However, Maven determines this value at deployment time, not build time, so it can't be baked in. The best thing to do is have your deployment or configuration management tool take care of writing that value out somewhere alongside the application. You can certainly leverage the Maven metadata in Archiva to do that.
