Build failure while deploying code from Jenkins to elastic beanstalk

Question

I am trying to deploy java webapp to elastic beanstalk. The build setup is configured in jenkins which automatically builds the code from git repository. There is a current environment running on elatic benastalk and I am trying to deploy the changes to same environmment. Any help would be appreciated.

As per AWS Java docs version label should be unique:

Must be unique per application. If an application version already exists with this label for the specified application, AWS Elastic Beanstalk returns an InvalidParameterValue error.

And that's exactly what your deployment violates:

Caused by: java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException: com.amazonaws.services.elasticbeanstalk.model.AWSElasticBeanstalkException: Application Version 9fa0aed367c3fe65ddbaedb9d9c6f921b4fbfdca already exists. (Service: AWSElasticBeanstalk; Status Code: 400; Error Code: InvalidParameterValue; Request ID: ec7d658e-a60f-11e6-a8bf-d9695b214a29)

Try changing version label format in AWS ElasticBeanstalk plugin step to make it unique.
