Maven: How to rename the war file for the project?

I have a project bird with the following components in pom.xml

        <groupId>com.myorg</groupId>
        <artifactId>bird</artifactId>
        <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
        <packaging>pom</packaging>
        <name>bird</name>
    
        <modules>
            <module>persistence</module>
            <module>business</module>
            <module>service</module>
            <module>web</module>
        </modules>

and the web module pom.xml

        <parent>
            <artifactId>bird</artifactId>
            <groupId>com.myorg</groupId>
            <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
        </parent>
    
        <artifactId>web</artifactId>
        <packaging>war</packaging>

The web module creates a war file named web-1.0-SNAPSHOT.war
How can I configure maven to build it as bird.war?

Within the <build> tag specify the name that you need for the war file as "finalName".

<build>
    <finalName>${project.artifactId}</finalName>
</build>

Lookup pom.xml > project tag > build tag.

I would like solution below.

<artifactId>bird</artifactId>
<name>bird</name>

<build>
    ...
    <finalName>${project.artifactId}</finalName>
  OR
    <finalName>${project.name}</finalName>
    ...
</build>

Worked for me. ^^

You can follow the below step to modify the .war file name if you are using maven project.

Open pom.xml file of your maven project and go to the tag <build></build>,

  1. In that give your desired name between this tag : <finalName></finalName>.

    ex. : <finalName>krutik</finalName>

    After deploying this .war you will be able to access url with:
    http://localhost:8080/krutik/

  2. If you want to access the url with slash '/' then you will have to specify then name as below:

    e.x. : <finalName>krutik#maheta</finalName>

    After deploying this .war you will be able to access url with:
    http://localhost:8080/krutik/maheta

You can use the following in the web module that produces the war:

<build>
  <finalName>bird</finalName>
 . . .
</build>

This leads to a file called bird.war to be created when goal "war:war" is used.

You need to configure the war plugin:

<project>
  ...
  <build>
    <plugins>
      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>2.3</version>
        <configuration>
          <warName>bird.war</warName>
        </configuration>
      </plugin>
    </plugins>
  </build>
  ...
</project>
