Hi devs,

The is a very easy way to get information about a jar trough Package class. Unfortunately we did not configured Maven to set most of the standard fields that Package expect (Specification-* and Implementation-* fields).

Once enabled it mean you can get the version of your module (or the module of any class as easily) by doing

this.getClass().getPackage().getImplementationVersion().

See https://maven.apache.org/shared/maven-archiver/examples/manifest.html for more.

WDYT about enabling that in Maven Jar plugin ?

Here is my +1.

Ok for me, I don’t see any negative aspect. I imagine that you have a use case? Thanks -Vincent
