We can still use one or two plugins in POM to rewrite the `Version.java`.
I used such of configuration some months ago. The negative point is that it would not be the POM simplicity. The positive mark was compatibility with ANT.

I think this is a good pint: I will use `maven-jar-plugin` plugin and include Manifets entry and get the entry via `App.class.getPackage().getImplementationVersion()`.
