[jira] Commented: (MNG-4112) Set property containing the currently executing maven version.

    [ https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-4112?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=273304#comment-273304 ] 

Paul Gier commented on MNG-4112:
--------------------------------

I'm not sure whether to use just the version number or the full version string for this.  For example, "3.0.3" vs "Apache Maven 3.0.3 (r1075438; 2011-02-28 11:31:09-0600)".  I'm leaning toward the full version info since this is similar to the version string available in the Ant property "ant.version".

> It would be helpful to have an easy way to access the current version of maven.  This might be accomplished by setting a property like "maven.version" during startup that would be available to the pom and/or to plugins.  This could be used to record what version of maven was used during the build to facilitate build reproducibility.
