Possible to get one of dependency version to insert into a filtered resource file?

Question

I\'ve a resource file, that is filtered by maven:

version=${project.version}
buildDate=${timestampFormatted}
buildBy=${user.name}   
fileEncoding=${file.encoding

First extract desired dependencies' versions into a property (which is always a good idea):

<properties>
    <org.springframework.version>3.1.0.RC2</org.springframework.version>
</properties>

And use it later in pom.xml:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-context</artifactId>
    <version>${org.springframework.version}</version>
</dependency>

Once this is done you can reference the property in filtered resource:

XX_LIB_VERSION=${org.springframework.version}
