the POM (both in XML and properties form) are already included in the JAR by default, so you can retrieve the version from those.

Also see: http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-manifest.html for how to add the version to the manifest itself.

I didn't want a classpath entry, so I decided to include the pom in the

Thanks,

You can specify the dependencies on the classpath of a manifest:

   <plugins>
     <plugin>
       <artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
       <configuration>
         <archive>
           <manifest>
             <addClasspath>true</addClasspath>
           </manifest>
         </archive>
       </configuration>
     </plugin>
        <plugin>

See the Jar Plugin documentation:
http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-jar-plugin/

Is that what you were after?

Regards,

Richard

Is there a way to inject the dependency version info of a
project into the JARs manifest?

TIA
