If you use an artifact of smartics in your projects you may find it useful to access additional information about build parameters in the META-INF folder. Some of this information is added to the manifest file and all information can be accessed at runtime by the build.properties file.
This information can be easily added with the use of our maven-buildmetadata-plugin.
Here is an example of the Manifest file of a release of the maven-buildmetadata-plugin.
