thinking out loud here:

can't you do like mvn -DtheDate=01062006 and
<finalname>myproject-${theDate}</finalname>, will this get interpolated?

Was just talking about this in another thread.

One way is to use the maven-buildnumber-plugin to generate a
timestamp for you, and then change the finalName element in your build.

IIRC though, this will work for packaging, but not for deploying/
releasing, which both create it's finalName differently than that
specified, and is one reason (of several) why I like to tuck away the
version numbers in some meta data in the war file, rather than in the
filename. The filename is a SNAPSHOT (and unchanging) until released,
at which point it does get a different filename. But maybe you need
it anyway.

HTH,
