How can I package a specific version with maven?

I'd like to call 

mvn clean install -Dsomeproperty=1.2.3-20110526-1836

to get 

artifact-1.2.3-20110526-1836.jar

instead of 

artifact-1.2.3-SNAPSHOT.jar

How can I pass that timestamp to maven ??

While this will do what you specified:

<project ...>
    <properties>
         <someproperty>somproperty-default-value</someproperty>
    </properties>
    <build>
        <finalName>artifact-${someproperty}</finalName>
        ....
    </build>
    ....
</project>

I would recommend to use this: How do I add time-stamp information to Maven artifacts?

The following artifact setting in pom.xml seem to be doing what you want:

<groupId>testgroup</groupId>
<artifactId>testartifact</artifactId>
<version>${someproperty}</version>

Now if you execute "mvn clean install -Dsomeproperty=1.1.timestamp", the jar file produced also contains the timestamp in its name.

I'm not sure if this is what you are looking for.

EDIT

Another solution since the pom file cannot be changed.

Execute the "mvn clean install" command normally. This generates a jar file like artifact-1.2.3-SNAPSHOT.jar.

Install this file again - this time with "mvn install:install-file -Dfile=artifact-1.2.3-SNAPSHOT.jar -DgroupId=testgroup -DartifactId=testartifact -Dversion=1.2.3-123456-1234 -Dpackaging=jar. This will install artifact-1.2.3-123456-1234.jar in your local repository

The fastest hack for this is to run 

     mvn clean install --offline

This will prevent from loading your nightly build from remote repos.

You may also play with settings.xml
