Access maven project version in Spring without filtering

Question

Using maven, I would like to get the my project version within spring but without filtering. I tried it like this

@PropertySource("classpath:META-INF/maven/groupId/artifactId/pom.properties")

as proposed here: Access maven project version in Spring config files

As written there it is not possible with test or jetty:run. maven is generating the META-INF only in the packaged archive. Is there a way to instruct maven to generate META-INF before so you can start jetty:run, let spring read the project version from manifest without getting an error?

If it's just for test purposes, you could just create a pom.properties sample file in the src/webapp/META-INF/..../ directory in your source tree?

Cheers,

That seems to be fine as I can mimic the behaviour at runtime. – Janning Vygen Oct 19 '12 at 14:05

You can maintain the version number in a project.properties file also and then access the version number from the project.properties file in the java code. Hope this helps you.

thx, but of course I don't want to maintain the version number at a different place than my pom file. – Janning Vygen Oct 19 '12 at 14:05
