title: Get Maven artifact version at runtime
body: <p>I have noticed that in a Maven artifact's JAR, the project.version attribute is included in two files:</p>
  
  <pre><code>META-INF/maven/${groupId}/${artifactId}/pom.properties
  META-INF/maven/${groupId}/${artifactId}/pom.xml
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there a recommended way to read this version at runtime?</p>
