Paul Gier commented on MNG-4112:
--------------------------------
I looked into it a bit, and I should be able to get the version the same way
that it's retrieved when you run "mvn -version" from the command line. It gets
the information from the maven core jar, so it wouldn't be dependent on the
RuntimeInformation.
I wasn't sure if it should be a system property, or should the scope of the
property be more localized?
The RuntimeInformation could be used in a goal in a plugin (maybe the
buildnumber plugin?) to allow the version to be accessed in maven pre 3.0.
> Set property containing the currently executing maven version.

> It would be helpful to have an easy way to access the current version of
> maven. This might be accomplished by setting a property like "maven.version"
> during startup that would be available to the pom and/or to plugins. This
> could be used to record what version of maven was used during the build to
> facilitate build reproducibility.
