Getting Project Version from Maven POM in Jenkins

Question

Is there any way a Jenkins build can be aware of the Maven version number of a project after processing the POM?

I\'ve got some projects where versioning is controll

Answer 1

Based on @Akom`s answer the pre steps to have POM_VERSION are:

1. "Inject environment variables" with property file your_property_file. Note if you select "Inject environment variables to the build process" the file needs to exist in the jenkins workspace.
2. run in a pre step execute shell the follwing bash script.

Script

mvn org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-help-plugin:evaluate -Dexpression=project.version -l project_version
# grep for the version pattern rather than not mentioning '\['
echo "POM_VERSION=$(grep -E  '^[0-9.]+(-SNAPSHOT)?$' project_version)" > your_property_file
