Remove -SNAPSHOT from project version in pom before deploying to maven repository.

Ambili Venugopalan

Hi Team,

I have a pom with the following data.

<span><groupId></span>com.company<span></groupId></span>
<span><artifactId></span>test<span></artifactId></span>
<span><version></span>1.0.0-SNAPSHOT<span></version></span>

In the Bamboo build step, before the package, I want to forcefully remove  the  "-SNAPSHOT " from the version.

Can you suggest a solution?

Thanks.

Hello @Ambili Venugopalan ,

If you have Maven installed on the agent (which I assume given a pom file), and you know the version you would like to set you can easily do so using the following command (for example using a shell task):

mvn versions:set -DnewVersion=1.0.0

Alternatively, you should be able to drop the -SNAPSHOT suffix using the following command, given you have at least version 2.1 of the Version Maven Plugin (see: https://www.mojohaus.org/versions-maven-plugin/set-mojo.html#removeSnapshot)

mvn versions:set -DremoveSnapshot

If you do not have Maven on the agent or you do not have version +2.1 and do not know the version in advance (e.g. it is set by the developers), you will need to extract the version part first and then update the file. In that case you might be interested in a plugin we have been working on: https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1223553/metadata-maniac-for-bamboo.

Hope this helps.
