I am trying to get application's version and name/artifact-id from server at runtime for the plugin I am developing.
I know I can get the details from pom.properties that is generated on the server, using below code 

java.io.InputStream inputStream = getServletContext().getResourceAsStream("/META-INF/maven/<application-directory-structure>/pom.properties");
Properties mavenProperties= new Properties();
mavenProperties.load(inputStream );
String version = (String) mavenProperties.get("version");
String name = (String) mavenProperties.get("artifactId");

But I am not able to reach to the pom.properties.
I tried using JarFile.getEntries()but as I am not able to get the name of the war at runtime, its not working.
Any suggestions how I can get the details I am looking for?
I can't modify the maven plugin to get the artifact details. I am making a plugin myself and can't force all the apps for that.

  • Possibly but as it says one needs to modify the config in order to write the details. Also I am trying to find from war and it gives from Jar. correct me if I am wrong. – Sandiip Patil Sep 19 '13 at 11:19
  • @SandiipPatil AFAIC a WAR has the same internal format as a JAR, it just has a different file extension. As said [here](http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-archive-configuration.html) the config should also work with WARs. – cr7pt0gr4ph7 Apr 20 '14 at 22:51

A little late maybe, but for the record: I got something like this to work by:

-NOT prefixing a leading slash ("/"), and -using Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().getResourceAsStream(...) and -use the maven groupId and artifactId

Example

Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("META-INF/maven/org.apache.logging.log4j/log4j-core/pom.properties");
