I have a somewhat novel solution, if I do say so myself. :-)
$ cat src/main/resources/com/acme/project.properties.vm
# project.properties
project.name = ${project.name}
project.version = ${project.version}
project.description = ${project.description}
project.inceptionYear = ${project.inceptionYear}
And make sure to have resource filtering enabled (although I'm not
sure if this is required). Then simply read the project.properties
file (note: no .vm suffix) from your program using standard
java.util.Properties. I actually bundle this project properties and
unpack it with maven-remote-resources-plugin automatically in my
corporate pom.
