Action Summary

The maven-get-version-action GitHub Action retrieves the version specified in a pom.xml file from a Maven project and outputs it as a reusable variable within a workflow. This automation simplifies tasks that require extracting and using project version information, enabling seamless integration of version management in CI/CD pipelines.

Release notes

Breaking changes

  • Docker base image updated from Java 11 to Java 21 (Temurin). This should not affect most users since help:evaluate doesn’t compile project code, but if you depend on the JDK version inside the action container, this is a breaking change.

Security

  • Removed eval usage in entrypoint — Maven command is now executed directly, eliminating command injection risk.

Bug fixes

  • Fixed args input default from '.' to '' — the previous default was being passed as a spurious Maven argument.
  • Empty version output is now caught and fails the action instead of silently continuing.

Improvements

  • Added set -e for fail-fast behavior
  • Added pom.xml existence check with ::error:: annotation
  • Proper variable quoting throughout the entrypoint
  • Bumped Maven 3.9.3 → 3.9.9
  • Bumped actions/checkout v3 → v4 in CI workflow
