So the question is do you want the version of your module or do you
want the version of the product since those might not be in sync
(anyone can do a product based on some version of XWiki platform).
What you saw on
https://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/FAQ/How+can+I+find+the+version+of+XWiki+I'm+running
is the version of the product.

If the goal is to set something like the version of "XWiki" then what
is described on
https://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/FAQ/How+can+I+find+the+version+of+XWiki+I'm+running
is not what you want. What you need is the version of you own
extension basically and you can do that by asking Extension Manager
the version of the installed extension with the id of your module.

@Inject
private CoreExtensionRepository coreExtensionRepository;
...
CoreExtension myself =
this.coreExtensionRepository.getCoreExtension("org.xwiki.commons:xwiki-commons-somehttpmodule")
Version version = myself.getId().getVersion()

The import issue you have is probably because you are missing
xwiki-commons-extension-api dependency in your pom.xml.

Another more Java standard approach would be to get the version from
the MANIFEST which would be much easier... if we did not forget to
configure Maven to set the version in the MANIFEST (just noticed it).
It would be something like
this.getClass().getPackage().getSpecificationVersion(). I guess this
would require a different discussion on the mailing list, will send a
mail about that.
Note that we have the version in the MANIFEST but in a custom field
set by the bundle plugin (Bundle-Version) and I would really prefer
using it in a more standard location.
