What's the easiest way to get at the version number in the POM from
Java?
I've been using
getResourceAsStream('META-INF/maven/groupId/artifactId/
pom.properties');
But this doesn't work while I'm developing in Eclipse (only when
using the
built jar file).
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:

Aha! Thanks for pointing this out. That's much more useful than
rolling my own implementation of such a thing.
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.
