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. -- Mark H.

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

This requires Maven 3.0.4+.

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.
