You can use maven-runtime to dynamically obtain this information, but
it still has the limitation of requiring the META-INF files created at
package-time:
http://maven.apache.org/shared/maven-runtime/
I'd quite like to see the generation of these metadata files occur at
the generate-resources phase of the lifecycle which would allow it
work within the IDE too.
