How to remove version number from war file - maven

Question

I have a Dependency in child pom like this.
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>sample-groupID</groupId>
<artifactId>sfint</artifactId>
<version>1.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
<type>war</type>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
And I am using maven-ear-plugin.
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven.ear.plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.10</version>
<configuration>
<modules>
<webModule>
<groupId>sample-gropuID</groupId>
<artifactId>sfint</artifactId>
<version>1.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
<moduleID>WebModule_sfint</moduleID>
<bundleFileName>sfint.war</bundleFileName>
</webModule>
</modules>
</configuration>
</plugin>
Now my problem is that I want my war file to be like this - sfint.war but I am getting it as - sfint.1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.war
Any help ??

Answer 1

Within the <build> tag specify the name that you need for the artifact as "finalName".
<build>
<finalName>${project.artifactId}</finalName>
</build>

Answer 2

You can configure maven-ear-plugin to omit the version information in the EAR file:
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-ear-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.10.1</version>
<configuration>
[...]
<fileNameMapping>no-version</fileNameMapping>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>

Answer 3

Use the outputFileNameMapping option for the maven-ear-plugin plugin
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-ear-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.0.0</version>
<configuration>
<outputFileNameMapping>#{artifactId}##{dashClassifier?}#.#{extension}#</outputFileNameMapping>

Answer 4

This will solve your problem:
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">
<modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
<groupId>myEAR</groupId>
<artifactId>myEAR</artifactId>
<version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
<packaging>ear</packaging>
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-ear-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.10</version>
<configuration>
<earSourceDirectory>EarContent</earSourceDirectory>
<generateApplicationXml>false</generateApplicationXml>
<version>6</version>
<defaultLibBundleDir>lib</defaultLibBundleDir>
<fileNameMapping>no-version</fileNameMapping>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>myWAR</groupId>
<artifactId>myWAR</artifactId>
<version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
<type>war</type>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</project>
your final EAR will be myEAR-0.0.1.SNAPSHOT.EAR that contains myWAR.war (without version number)
if you want to remove version number from EAR also than add myEar

Answer 5

If the war/ejb is part of an ear project, one should use bundleFileName to change the module names in the final ear artifact.
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-ear-plugin</artifactId>
<version>${version.ear.plugin}</version>
<configuration>
<modules>
<webModule>
<groupId>com.foo</groupId>
<artifactId>myapp-web</artifactId>
<contextRoot>/myapp</contextRoot>
<bundleFileName>myapp-web.war</bundleFileName>
</webModule>
<ejbModule>
<groupId>com.foo</groupId>
<artifactId>myapp-ejb</artifactId>
<bundleFileName>myapp-ejb.jar</bundleFileName>
</ejbModule>
</modules>
</configuration>
</plugin>
