Maven semantic versioning
Hi, I would like to implement the following semantic version ING scheme for my company in a maven parent or archetype.
M.m.R.P-B
M: Major Version
m: Minor Version
R: Revision (Sprint number)
P: patch
B: Build number
The Build number should always be incrementing if the project is packaged. Please don't try to argue with me that this scheme is dumb, this was a requirement by our QA department which is not willing do deviate from their scheme of allways incrementing numbers. I don't work at a tech company and I don't make the rules.
I'd rather have the build be dependent on the patch, and allways reset for a new patch, but that's not allowed.
How would you implement something like this?
I tried the release plugin for maven and the version plugin, but I was not too successful with any of them.3 Replies

In principle, you can access properties from within the
<version> but you'll get a warning each time you are building it
Alternatively (assuming it's about CI builds only) you can edit the XML file to add the build number to the pom.xml before building
I think there's also some Maven plugin for git describe in versions or whatever
so in the pom.xml you just have M.m and the CI adds the other parts💤 Post marked as dormant
