Manipulate project version property to remove SNAPSHOT?

Question

I\'ve got a project at version 0.0.1-SNAPSHOT, and when we build it via TeamCity, we also get a build.vcs.number property, which is the Subversion revision that triggered th

I realize this question is a tad dated, but I just ran into a similar situation, and this is how I resolved it:

    org.codehaus.mojo
    build-helper-maven-plugin
    1.8
    
      
        parse-version
        
          parse-version
        
      
    

What this build-helper plugin's "parse-version" mojo will do is give you the following properties that you can use as you see fit:

parsedVersion.majorVersion
parsedVersion.minorVersion
parsedVersion.incrementalVersion
parsedVersion.qualifier
parsedVersion.buildNumber

That should cover all of your desired version "parts." I'm currently using this to build chrome extensions in which the manifest version cannot include "-SNAPSHOT" and must be at most 4 numbers separated by dots. In my use case, I use this combination to produce the desired result:

"version":"${parsedVersion.majorVersion}.${parsedVersion.minorVersion}.${parsedVersion.incrementalVersion}"

So, I'm essentially stripping of "-SNAPSHOT" so my local dev copies of my extension will install properly for testing. You can build whatever you want with the pieces. =)
