How to get current maven goal version

In a maven plugin project if you use

@Parameter(defaultValue = "${project}")
private MavenProject project;

Then you get the project that runs this plugin. How to get version of current Maven goal inside the maven goal itself, more specifically, this part of the project's pom.xml?

<plugins>
      <plugin>
        <groupId>com.my.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>my-maven-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>!! I want to get this !!</version>
      </plugin>
<plugins>

Thanks!

Solution

  • Add this to your mojo:

    @Parameter( defaultValue = "${plugin}", readonly = true ) // Maven 3 only
private PluginDescriptor plugin;
