I think you did not use the correct solution. The Maven recommended way is to use a property file which will be loaded by your Java file(as a resource bundle for example) to get the version string. The property file should be stored in src/main/resources and will be automatically processed by Maven using the filtering option of Maven. This will prevents unnecessary Ant files to do the job.
