What is the best way to version control Java web applications?

Question

I have a standard Java application that handles REST and UI calls. What is the best way to create and manage the version of an application (major.minor.release.build)? I use Subversion, Maven, Bamboo (continuous build) and Spring on the stack. I would like the version to be associated with SVN, Bamboo and Maven. And I would like to be able to write the version at startup - probably using some Spring bean.

There should be a structure / template to help with this. I would rather not collapse.

Thank!
