       Body:
Is this in the startmenu-shortcuts.nsh file?

If it is, you can use any of the variables defined in the project.jelly template, e.g.

!define ORGANIZATION "${pom.organization}"
!define PROJECT_BUILD_DIR "${build}"
!define PROJECT_FINAL_NAME "${maven.final.name}"
!define PROJECT_LICENSE_FILE "${license}"
!define PROJECT_LICENSE_TEXT "${maven.nsis.license.text}"
!define PROJECT_NAME "${pom.name}"
!define PROJECT_REG_KEY "SOFTWARE\${pom.organization}\${pom.name}\${pom.currentVersion}"
!define PROJECT_REG_UNINSTALL_KEY "Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\${pom.name} ${pom.version}"
!define PROJECT_STARTMENU_FOLDER "$$SMPROGRAMS\${pom.organization}\${pom.name} ${pom.currentVersion}"
!define PROJECT_VERSION "${pom.currentVersion}"
!define PROJECT_DIST_DIR "${maven.dist.bin.assembly.dir}"
!define PROJECT_LOGO "${logo}"

e.g. $PROJECT_VERSION

Description:
Currently I am hardcoding a shortcut to the executable jar:
CreateShortCut "${PROJECT_STARTMENU_FOLDER}\NetworkTools.lnk" "$INSTDIR\NetworkTools-1.2.1.jar" "" "$INSTDIR" 0

Problem here is the version number: "1.2.1", this is of course dynamic. Also the jar name could depend on the pom :)

Maybe I am overlooking a way to do this dynamic?
Low documentation makes this wonderfull plugin underused.
