build goal

The build goal is used to set the project version in accordance with the examples in the following table:

As you can see, it does one or more of the following three things:

1. If the current version is not of the form: <major>.<minor>.<increment> or <major>.<minor>.<increment>-SNAPSHOT
   then it will append .0 sequences to fill out the string. Then,
2. If the current version is of the form: <major>.<minor>.<increment>
   then it will increment the <increment> component and append the suffix: -SNAPSHOT. However,
3. If the current version is of the form: <major>.<minor>.<increment>-SNAPSHOT
   then it will do nothing.

Setup

To use this goal in your Maven project, include the following in your pom.xml file:

    
<project>
    <build>
        <plugins>
            <plugin>                    
                <groupId>com.bewsoftware.mojo</groupId>
                <artifactId>bewsoftware-version-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>1.0.0</version>
                <executions>
                    <execution>
                        <id>Build</id>
                        <goals>
                            <goal>build</goal>
                        </goals>
                    </execution>
                </executions>
