[FIXED] How to give name to the war file?

Issue

I generated a war file by executing this command in the root directory of my Spring project : mvn package

The resulting war file is called hib-1.0.0-BUILD-SNAPSHOT.war

I figured out that the first word hib is the project's artifactId.

How can I specify a custom name for the generated war file?

Solution

You can set the variable finalName in the build section of the pom.xml in your project:

<build>
    <finalName>myname</finalName>
</build>

So the war will be renamed to myname.war
