How to get Maven's own version into an artifact?
There's a desire for our product to be able to say, at runtime, what
version of Maven was used to build it. Somewhat surprisingly I wasn't
able to find a predefined property holding this information.
There *is* a class one can instantiate which offers a method to return
that information, but before I go writing up a whole plugin just for
this little thing, I thought I should ask if there's an easier way
that I missed.
Ultimately I will likely filter the value into a Properties-formatted
file to be loaded at need.

There's an app for that: your browser

If it works, go for Olivier'd answer.
If for whatever reason you can't upgrade jar plugin or read the manifest,
there's also a goal in build-helper-maven-plugin (currently offline and
dont remember the name) that will create a runtime property you can use
wherever you want.

This requires Maven 3.0.4+.

Last version of jar plugin should add an entry in MANIFEST
with Created-By: Apache Maven ${maven.version}
