above pom.xml uses jetty server for creating war file.So when I run mvn jetty:war-run then it creates war file with name MyArtifact-3.war(artifactId-version), but I want my war file name to be myWeb.war. I used war tag in configuration of pom.xml to specify the war name I want(according to this link http://www.eclipse.org/jetty/documentation/current/jetty-maven-plugin.html#running-assembled-webapp-as-war). But, it is not working. Please let me know how can I change generated war file name.

Answer 1

Simple enough, just override the <finalName> value.
<project>
<build>
<finalName>${project.artifactId}</finalName>
</build>
</project>
