Taking back the -1 since I found this to be a local configuration issue. I found that the default behavior no longer prompts you for the version you are creating, just the group,artifact,version,package. You have to say N to the prompt and re-enter all the values to change the version. This is a little confusing, especially if you're used to the old way.
