Alternatively, you could pull the version info from the pom.xml that gets
stashed in a sub-folder of META-INF by default.... but this might require a
bit of work since the version could have been inherited from the parent
version...
Safest way is as Brian suggests... and it has the added advantage of not
tieing you to maven for your build.
What we do is we have a properties file with
version=${project.version}
as the only entry. We then turn on filtering for that properties file, and
to access it from code we just use getClass().getResource("/path to
versions.properties")
