Yes, I saw this.
The best would be if you could pick up the version from the Maven pom
file.. so it is auto-updated, e.g. it would be
0.15.1-incubating-SNAPSHOT now.
I remember a way to do this with generating a special resource file in
Maven that you then read from inside.. but I think now you can do it
easier by using something like
getClass().getResource("/org.apache.taverna.language/taverna-language-commandline/pom.properties")
and read it as a java.util.Properties file
stain@biggie:~/src/taverna/incubator-taverna-language/taverna-language-commandline/target/1$
cat
META-INF/maven/org.apache.taverna.language/taverna-language-commandline/pom.properties
#Generated by Maven
#Thu Aug 20 00:31:04 BST 2015
version=0.15.1-incubating-SNAPSHOT
groupId=org.apache.taverna.language
artifactId=taverna-language-commandline
This would however be fragile to the hardcoded Maven groupId and
artifactId that is part of the path.
Alternatively I think you can use the fact that every Taverna JAR is a
bundle, and read the META-INF/MANIFEST.MF for your package:
Implementation-Title: Apache Taverna Language Commandline
Implementation-Version: 0.15.1-incubating-SNAPSHOT
which I think you can access with something like
System.out.print(getClass().getPackage().getImplementationTitle());
System.out.println(" " +
getClass().getPackage().getImplementationVersion());
Now if this works, this is probably the neatest.. but you would have
to check if that would still give the right result within the shaded
JAR which might mangle that META-INF/maven file.
