Recently, I decided to introduce some changes into the build process and I was unable to figure out the following: * I want to have the final artifact name (.jar, .war, etc) WITHOUT the version number. The application/libraries are not meant to be a third party and version numbers (XXX-snapshot, XXX-1.5) are not needed and I want to have the same name each time regardless of the version. How do I accomplish this?
I seriously and strongly recommend that you *don't* do this.The price of doing this is that you no longer know what version of your software you are looking at.
Production is giving problems, you need to check out the source code, quick. Which tag do you check out? You have no idea.
I have watched people using tools like Beyond Compare to painstakingly check whether one jar was the same as another one, just because the jar had no identifying marks on it.
Save yourself the pain and the suffering: don't do it. Regards, Graham --
