Retrieve POM.xml version and display it on frontend

Hi everyone, I have a POM file that looks like this:

<span><?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?></span>

<span><project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd"></span>
    <span><modelVersion></span>4.0.0<span></modelVersion></span>
    <span><groupId></span>com.company.jira.plugin<span></groupId></span>
    <span><artifactId></span>security-service<span></artifactId></span>
    <span><version></span> ${POM_JIRAVERSION}-${BUILD_NUMBER}-SNAPSHOT<span></version></span>

 

I've got an HTML UI where I want to display my POM version number, my version number is dynamic as you can see and changes with every build I make on Jenkins. How can I retrieve the version from the POM.xml and display it on my HTML ?

Found the solution using a maven replacer:

 

<plugin>
<groupId>com.google.code.maven-replacer-plugin</groupId>
<artifactId>replacer</artifactId>
<version>1.5.3</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>generate-resources</phase>
<goals>
<goal>replace</goal>
</goals> 
</execution>
</executions>
<configuration> 
<file>src/main/resources/templates/scheduleraction/main.vm</file>
<replacements>
<replacement>
<token>%PROJECT_VERSION%</token>
<value>${project.version}</value>
</replacement>
</replacements>
</configuration>
</plugin>
