Using maven version in plugin

I am writing a plugin to Maven. I want to customize action depend on Maven version (person's who use my plugin) something like:

if (MavenVer == "2.2.1") 
    //do some things
if (MavenVer == "3.0")
//do another things

I found out build-helper-maven-plugin but i'm not shure how to use it to do this job.

I have been looking for an answer to your question and I have come to the conclusion that there is no simple way to get the maven version, or at least I couldn't find it. The best I was able to find is that the maven-enforcer-plugin contains code that looks up the maven version. However in looking at the maven-enforcer-plugin source code it is a little complicated and involves getting a handle to a RuntimeInformation instance through plexus (the IoC container used by Maven).

I recommend you take a look at the maven-enforcer-plugin and see if you can use what they did. Pay particular attention to RequireMavenVersion and EnforcerMojo classes.

you need to inject maven reference into plugina and simply check version using API http://maven.apache.org/ref/2.2.1/maven-project/apidocs/org/apache/maven/project/MavenProject.html#getVersion()

http://maven.apache.org/ref/3.0.3/maven-core/apidocs/org/apache/maven/project/MavenProject.html#getVersion()

code for injection 

public class MyMojo extends AbstractMojo {
/**
 * @component
 */
ArtifactFactory factory;
/**
 * @component
 */
ArtifactResolver artifactResolver;
/**
 * @parameter default-value="${project.remoteArtifactRepositories}"
 */
List remoteRepositories;
/**
 * @parameter default-value="${localRepository}"
 */
ArtifactRepository localRepository;
/**
 * @parameter default-value="${project}"
 */
MavenProject mavenProject;
