How to set a project version in Maven

04/13/2017

The project version can be set in a Maven pom.xml file, by calling maven with the version:set parameter.

Call the following command:

mvn versions:set -DnewVersion=1.0.1-SNAPSHOT

Example:

The script takes a demo project created by maven, the default version number is 1.0-SNAPSHOT. It sets the project version number to 1.0.1-SNAPSHOT.

$ mvn versions:set -DnewVersion=1.0.1-SNAPSHOT
