Maven Project jar version through Jenkins

I'm currently working on setting up a continuous integration environment that will use git as the source and Nexus as the Artifact repository.

I have configured 2 jobs in Jenkins.

  1. A maven build job that will parse the pom file in git and deploy the jar file to Nexus.
  2. A deploy job that will deploy the jar file from Nexus to application server(weblogic)

I need help in the below 2 areas.

1) When the jar is deployed to Nexus, the file will be in the format: -0.0.1-date&time-1.jar

Is there any way that i can modify this to just fileName.jar?

2) How do i setup the 2nd job to pick the jar file created by the first job? I'm looking for ways by which i can pass the version number to the deploy job dynamically.

I'm sure that what you want to achieve is possible. But maybe you could provide more info. eg. can we see a simplified version of your pom.xml file(s). Also my Jenkins is rusty, are you using a git plugin for jenkins? – Neilos

Files in Maven repository are versioned and have a standardized format. The format you've outlined is for SNAPSHOT revisions, explaining the time-stamp. Try setting a real number in the "version" field of the POM and you'll see the difference.

I have never used it, but I suggest trying the Maven Metadata plugin to create a drop-down list of versions, in a parametrized job.

Do you really need two jobs? I'd rather use the Promoted Builds Plugin to deploy the artifact — this can be done based on some rule or automatically.
