The way I do it is to place version information in the Jar according to
package standard and then extract it via java.lang.Package object or
alternatively (and much more simpler) is to define some constants somewhere.
I usually do something like
interface Constants
{
String VERSION = "@@VERSION@@";
String DATE = "@@DATE@@";
}
and then replace the constants during build process. See Ants build process
for examples of that.
