I need to get the value of the version in my spring boot project to create a service that returns this value, the value in question would be version in build.gradle.

group = 'br.com.xxxxx'
version = '0.0.2'
sourceCompatibility = 1.8

I have already tried several forms such as:

ProjectInfoProperties.Build.class.getPackage().getImplementationVersion()

below is my gradle:

buildscript {

ext {
    springBootVersion = '1.5.9.RELEASE'
}
repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
    classpath("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-gradle-plugin:${springBootVersion}")
    classpath "io.spring.gradle:dependency-management-plugin:1.0.3.RELEASE"
}

But this only brings me the spring boot version. Anyone who can help me, thank you.

java gradle spring-boot

Yes, it is possible. Spring has a bean named BuildProperties , which has some project information such as the version number.

For this, you need the following:

1) a) If the project is Maven, add the following to pom.xml :

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
    <executions>
        <execution>
            <id>build-info</id>
            <goals>
                <goal>build-info</goal>
            </goals>
        </execution>
    </executions>
</plugin>

b) If the project is Gradle, add the following to build.gradle :

springBoot {
    buildInfo()
}

When building the project, Spring will generate the \build\resources\main\META-INF path in the build-info.properties path and make the bean BuildProperties available for injection, which, among other methods, has getVersion() , which returns the version.

For code this is, however, if you run the project through IDE (which is most likely), you may get a bean error not found. To resolve this, if your IDE is Intellij, go to Edit > Settings > Build, Execution, Deployment > Gradle (ou Maven, depende do seu projeto) > Runner and click the Delegate IDE build / run actions to gradle (or maven) option. This is because the Gradle / Maven task that generates the build-info.properties file is bootBuildInfo , which is not the default task Intellij uses, hence the error.

When running System.out.println(build.getVersion()); on a test project following the steps I described, I received as output the version that is informed in the project build.gradle :

//0.0.1-SNAPSHOT
