Getting maven project version and artifact ID from pom while running in Eclipse
An easy solution with maven 4 is now to add a VersionUtil
static method in your package:
package my.domain.package;
public class VersionUtil {
public static String getApplicationVersion(){
String version = VersionUtil.class.getPackage().getImplementationVersion();
return (version == null)? "unable to reach": version;
}
}
The thing is you need this ´mave-war-plugin´ in the project's pom, saying you want to add addDefaultImplementationEntries
:
<build>
<finalName>${project.artifactId}</finalName>
<plugins>
...
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.2.2</version>
<configuration>
<failOnMissingWebXml>false</failOnMissingWebXml>
<archive>
<manifest>
<addDefaultImplementationEntries>true</addDefaultImplementationEntries>
</manifest>
</archive>
</configuration>
</plugin>
...
Then call the VersionUtil.getApplicationVersion()
from some place in your code.
Create a property file
src/main/resources/project.properties
with the below content
version=${project.version}
artifactId=${project.artifactId}
Now turn on maven resource filtering
<resource>
<directory>src/main/resources</directory>
<filtering>true</filtering>
</resource>
so that this file is processed into
target/classes/project.properties
with some content similar to this
version=1.5
artifactId=my-artifact
Now you can read this property file to get what you want and this should work every time.
final Properties properties = new Properties();
properties.load(this.getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("project.properties"));
System.out.println(properties.getProperty("version"));
System.out.println(properties.getProperty("artifactId"));
