How to put maven project version in war file manifest?

Question

I need to have Maven insert the version number from the POM file into the manifest located in the WAR file under /WEB-INF/manifest.mf.

How do I do this? I was able to easily file documentation for doing this in a JAR file using the maven-jar-plugin, but that does not work on a WAR file.

Thanks for the help!

Figured it out using the maven-war-plugin. See the configuration below:

<plugin>      <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>      <artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>      <version>2.1.1</version>      <configuration>          <archive>              <manifestEntries>                  <version>${project.version}</version>              </manifestEntries>          </archive>      </configuration> </plugin>
