SOLVED: Determine pkgver from source

Is there a way to determine the $pkgver in the PKGBUILD from the source being downloaded?
I'm attempting to package some Java which is built via maven, and maven already has the version in its pom.xml. I'd like my PKGBUILD to reuse that value, instead of introducing a copy that will get out of sync, I'm sure.

I tried setting $pkgver in prepare() or build() but values set there seem to be ignored.
