I want to create a jar file without SNAPSHOT cause when i used this command

mvn -f pom.XML package

created two files "file name_SNAPSHOT.jar and file name_SNAPSHOT_WITH_dependencies.jar" I want file name.jar i know that i should edit in pom.XML so i tried to add this

<plugin>
 <groupId>org.Apache.maven.plugins</groupId>  
   <artifactId>maven-source-plugin</artifactId>         
      <executions> 
       <execution>
        <id>attach-sources</id>
        <goals>
           <goal>jar</goal>
        </goals>
       </execution>
      </executions>
</plugin>

but it created file name_SNAPSHOT_source.jar how can i solve it ?!

My pom.XML like that

<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" Xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">
  <model Version>4.0.0</model Version>
    <group Id>MyProject</group Id>
    <artifact Id>MyProject</artifact Id>
    <version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version> 
    <packaging>jar</packaging>

The proper way is to change project.version. But this is not recommended because development jar should has version with suffix -SNAPSHOT.

Maven goes a long way to help you with version management and you will often see the SNAPSHOT designator in a version, which indicates that a project is in a state of development.

More information:

Other solution without changing project.version is to use property finalName. This solution removes whole version from artifact.

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

After applying your pom.xml should look like this:

<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
  xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">
  <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
  <groupId>com.example.something</groupId>
  <artifactId>myproject</artifactId>
  <version>0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
  <packaging>jar</packaging>
  <name>My Project<name>
  <build>
     <finalName>${project.artifactId}</finalName>
  </build>
  ...
</project>

Property finalName apply also to Maven Assembly Plugin
