As described in the reference documentation, you need to instruct Gradle to process you application's resources so that it will replace the ${version} placeholder with the project's version:

processResources {
    expand(project.properties)
}

To be safe, you may want to narrow things down so that only application.properties is processed:

processResources {
    filesMatching('application.properties') {
        expand(project.properties)
    }
}

Now, assuming that your property is named info.build.version, it'll be available via @Value:

@Value("${info.build.version}")
