How to build maven project without version?

I have a maven project that I want to build without version.

Now, when I build the project using maven, it creates this commonjerseylib-1.0.war but I need this commonjerseylib.war to be created.

In addition to that, I remove <version> tag from pom.xml but still Maven is creating with war with version 1.0 by default.

My pom.xml :

<modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
<groupId>commonjerseylib</groupId>
<artifactId>commonjerseylib</artifactId>
<packaging>ear</packaging>
<name>commonjerseylib</name>
<!--<version>1.0</version>-->

How to build it without version ?

I fixed it with the below lines of code in the pom

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

You will always need a version number for a project, however it is possible to change the name of the generated package (JAR, WAR, EAR, etc.) through the <finalName> element in the POM.

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

or in older versions of maven:

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

By default, the finalName is ${project.artifactId}-${project.version}, but this can be changed to something else. This will only affect the name of the package created in the target directory; the file name in the local repository and uploaded to remote repositories will always have a version number.

See the POM reference documentation for more information.
