How to build a project with maven without version

Question

in one of my projects I need to build one project without a version. I have one call to the commonjerseylib project, when I create it using maven, I get commonjerseylib-1.0.war, but I need the name of the war file commonjerseylib.war

I remove the version tag from pom, but by default maven creates version 1.0.

Thank you in advance

<modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion> <groupId>commonjerseylib</groupId> <artifactId>commonjerseylib</artifactId> <packaging>ear</packaging> <name>commonjerseylib</name> <!--<version>1.0</version>--> 

Answer 1

You always need the version number for the project, however, you can change the name of the generated package (JAR, WAR, EAR, etc.) through the <finalName> element in the POM.

 <project> ... <build> ... <finalName>${project.artifactId}</finalName> ... </build> ... </project> 

or in older versions of maven:

  ... <finalName>${artifactId}</finalName> ... 

By default, finalName is set to ${project.artifactId}-${project.version} , but this can be changed to another. This will only affect the name of the package created in the target directory; the file name in the local repository and downloaded to the remote repositories will always have a version number.

See the POM reference documentation for more information.

in maven war plugin in assembly, change

 <warName> ${artifactId} </warName>
