I try to parse version of project into new variable named build-number, i use following plugin
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>build-helper-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.7</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>rename-property</id>
<goals>
<goal>regex-property</goal>
</goals>
<phase>package</phase>
<configuration>
<name>build-number</name>
<value>${project.version}</value>
<regex>\.</regex>
<replacement>_</replacement>
<failIfNoMatch>false</failIfNoMatch>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
My properties section in pom.xml looks like this
<modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
<groupId>xxx.xxx.xxx</groupId>
<artifactId>xxx</artifactId>
<version>1.1.2</version>
<packaging>rar</packaging>
<properties>
<build-number></build-number>
</properties>
My question is how to access this variable, after launch of mvn build i can see
[INFO] --- build-helper-maven-plugin:1.7:regex-property (rename-property) @ xxx--- [INFO] Setting property 'build-number' to '1_1_2'.
I found out that when we set phase to
validate
then all works fine.
