Re: Rtrieving version info

[Lucas Persson]

I can not resist ;-) this.getClass().getPackage().getImplementationVersion(); And you need to instruct maven jar plugin to include version info the MANIFEST.MF E.g.           <configuration>             <archive>               <manifest>                 <addDefaultImplementationEntries>true</addDefaultImplementationEntries>               </manifest>             </archive>           </configuration> http://maven.apache.org/shared/maven-archiver/index.html Cheers Lucas On 02/02/2011 09:45 AM, Martin Schayna wrote: On 02/01/2011 10:23 PM, Wayne Fay wrote: How do I access the  maven version from my java code. For what purpose, exactly? Are you building a Maven plugin, or simply building some Java project with Maven? I have done this by reading version number during runtime from MANIFEST.MF file:         import java.util.jar.Attributes;         import java.util.jar.Manifest;         Manifest manifest = (Manifest)app.getServletContext().getAttribute("MANIFEST");         if (manifest == null)             try {                 manifest = new Manifest(app.getServletContext().getResourceAsStream("/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF"));             } catch (Exception e) {                 manifest = new Manifest();             }         String version = getAttribute(manifest, "Implementation-Version"); Just curious if this solution is ok or exists better one?
