If you need still generic way.

Use Execute shell option and use the mvn deploy command manually, You can pass your version and others things such as groupID etc as parameters in job, If you maintain separate job to build and upload this will work out.

Ex:

export M2_HOME=/PATH/TO/softwares/apache-maven-3.0.4 PATH=$M2_HOME/bin:$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH export PATH

mvn -v

mvn deploy:deploy-file -Durl=http://someorg:8081/nexus/content/repositories/t1.snapshot/ -DrepositoryId=t1.snapshot -DartifactId=artifactID -DgroupId=groupID -Dpackaging=zip -Dfile=${WORKSPACE}/filename.zip -Dversion=1.0-TEST-SNAPSHOT -s "/path/to/.m2/settings.xml"
