I can not resist ;-) this.getClass().getPackage().getImplementationVersion(); And you need to instruct maven jar plugin to include version info the MANIFEST.MF E.g. <configuration> <archive> <manifest> <addDefaultImplementationEntries>true</addDefaultImplementationEntries> </manifest> </archive> </configuration> http://maven.apache.org/shared/maven-archiver/index.html Cheers Lucas

How do I access the maven version from my java code.

For what purpose, exactly? Are you building a Maven plugin, or simply
building some Java project with Maven?

I have done this by reading version number during runtime from MANIFEST.MF file:

        import java.util.jar.Attributes;
        import java.util.jar.Manifest;

        Manifest manifest = (Manifest)app.getServletContext().getAttribute("MANIFEST");
        if (manifest == null)
            try {
                manifest = new Manifest(app.getServletContext().getResourceAsStream("/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF"));
            } catch (Exception e) {
                manifest = new Manifest();
            }
        String version = getAttribute(manifest, "Implementation-Version");

Just curious if this solution is ok or exists better one?

Thanks, Martin Schayna.
