Maven-ear-plugin custom finalname

I can't find a solution to my problem. in short: in the ear/pom.xml with this configuration all work perfectly

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

But when i try to add a timestamp to finalname:

...
<finalName>${project.artifactId}-${maven.build.timestamp}</finalName>
...

I get this error:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-ear-plugin:2.8:generate-application-xml (default-generate-application-xml) on project soc-ear: Unable to copy application.xml to final destination: The file, directory, or volume name syntax is incorrect

Some idea? Thanks in advance

I found the solution. To edit the final name, just move the property to the plugin 

    <build>
        <plugins>
            <plugin>
                <artifactId>maven-ear-plugin</artifactId>
                <configuration>
                    <finalName>${project.artifactId}-${maven.build.timestamp}</finalName>
                    ...
                </configuration>
            </plugin>
        </plugins>
    </build>

I do not know the difference between putting it in the generic build rather than in the plugin, but it does work.
