How can I get the version of the application (defined by tag version in pom.xml) in quarkus specially? - quarkus

Question

I moved from a plain Java EE application to quarkus.io.
In Java EE I had the a properties file with
version=${project.version} and reeading this file in an JAX RS endpoint. This worked very well.
#GET
public Response getVersion() throws IOException {
InputStream in = getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("buildInfo.properties");
if (in == null) {
return Response.noContent().build();
}
Properties props = new Properties();
props.load(in);
JsonObjectBuilder propertiesBuilder = Json.createObjectBuilder();
props.forEach((key, value) -> propertiesBuilder.add(key.toString(), value.toString()));
return Response.ok(propertiesBuilder.build()).build();
}
Now that I am using quarkus and MicroProfile, I wonder if there is a better approach.
I tried it with the ConfigProperty setup from MicroProfile.
#ConfigProperty(name = "version")
public String version;
But I get the following error:
Property project.version not found.
Here is my build section of my pom.
<build>
<finalName>quarkus</finalName>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>io.quarkus</groupId>
<artifactId>quarkus-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.0.0.CR2</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<goals>
<goal>build</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
<version>${surefire-plugin.version}</version>
<configuration>
<systemProperties>
<java.util.logging.manager>org.jboss.logmanager.LogManager</java.util.logging.manager>
</systemProperties>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
Is there any solution / better approach?

Answer 1

Try
#ConfigProperty(name = "quarkus.application.version")
String version;
Also you can read the Implementation-Version from the manifest.

Answer 2

I'm not sure if my approach is the best case scenario but you can try this:
pom.xml :
<resources>
<resource>
<directory>src/main/resources</directory>
<filtering>true</filtering>
<includes>
<include>**/application.properties</include>
</includes>
</resource>
</resources>
In application.properties use version property:
quarkus.version=${quarkus.platform.version}
Then use it as a config property:
#ConfigProperty(name = "quarkus.version")
String version;

Answer 3

Here is another way:
String projectVersion = ConfigProvider.getConfig().getValue("quarkus.application.version", String.class);
Or .getOptionalValue() etc
