Howto access project version programmatically within application
A solution to this question appears to have been offered here, in 2007.
http://maven.40175.n5.nabble.com/HowTo-access-project-version-programmatically-in-application-td82542.html
It references a page explaining how to do it. That page is now gone:
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/maven/components/trunk/maven-core/src/main/java/org/apache/maven/execution/DefaultRuntimeInformation.java
Does this page or another more advanced way to do this now exist?
Thanks.

Agreed.
I filter-copy a properties file with the following:
project.name=${project.name}
project.version=${project.version}
build.date=${build.date}
...
Then I can load this file and have at it.

What he said.
Dunno about *approved*, but in a JAR (or WAR?) in
META-INF/maven/${groupId}/${artifactId} you'll find pom.properties
which contains a 'version' property:
$ cat pom.properties
#Generated by Maven
#Mon Aug 29 13:19:24 EDT 2011
version=1.0-SNAPSHOT
groupId=edu.iupui.ulib.dspace
artifactId=casAuthn
I know that at least one product deserializes this file to discover
its own version number.
One could use resource filtering to produce a customized
allAboutMe.properties explicitly, containing anything Maven knows and
is willing to provide to a filter.
But I too would like to know what the supported method is, and where
that is documented.

Hm, is this really heading into the direction you intended with your
question originally?
The api your are looking at is more for maven internal use (or for
dealing with maven world (poms, etc.).
If your "application" is into this direction you might find interesting
hints with maven plugin development.
If you have in mind some kind of application that just happens to use
maven as a build platform,
then the solution is not in the first place maven specific.
(The version of the maven project needs not necessarily be the version
of the application,
but providing such info to your application is application specif in the
first place.)
You need to consider in what form said information is to be bundled with
your application.
(e.g. readable from jar manifest or other resource, read from pom
included with jar, provided by a dedicated class to name a few)
Second step would be how you access it from there.
So, probably you can drop a word or more on the use case involved.

Re: Howto access project version programmatically within application
Posted by Steve Cohen <sc...@javactivity.org>.
It appears that this entire class and the interface it is based on are
deprecated, in favor of org.apache.maven.rtinfo.RuntimeInformation and
org.apache.maven.rtinfo.internal.DefaultRuntimeInformation.
But this non-deprecated version of the interface/impl REMOVE the
getApplicationVersion() method.
What's going on here and what is the approved method for getting the
application version now?

Thanks.
But according to this:
http://maven.apache.org/ref/3.0.4-SNAPSHOT/apidocs/org/apache/maven/execution/DefaultRuntimeInformation.html
the getApplicationVersion() method has been deprecated, with no
indication as to what I should use instead.
Also, it seems that this introduces a dependency on Maven itself within
the application. What jar would this be?
Thanks again.

Just google org/apache/maven/execution/DefaultRuntimeInformation.java .
