maven install file manually without version

Question

How do I add a jar file to my local repository without appending the version number to the jar file?

Lets say I have a jar file named abc.jar and run the following command, it will create abc-1.0.jar and if I bundle this artifact in a war file, the resulting file name will be abc-1.0.jar. If I remove the -Dversion, the command fails. If I mention blank value -Dversion="", then abc-.jar is created. How do I keep the original jar's filename(abc.jar)?

mvn install:install-file -Dfile="d:\abc.jar" -DgroupId=grp1 -DartifactId=art1 -Dversion=1.0 -Dpackaging=jar

You can't.

Answer 2

This works for war packages. I haven't tried it for jars.

<build>
<!-- Ensures that the version number is not included in the packaged file name -->
<finalName>myrenamedpackage</finalName>
</build>
