Spring Boot Maven Plugin adds version to JAR filename

[mpalourdio]

Hello,

I have just updated from Spring Boot 2.1.3 to 2.1.4. We heavily use spring-boot-maven-plugin to build executable jar. Before 2.1.4, we were able to build jar whose file name did not contain the project version with this configuration :

<build>
        <plugins>
            <plugin>
                <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
                <artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
                <configuration>
                    <executable>true</executable>
                    <finalName>${project.artifactId}</finalName>
                </configuration>
                <executions>
                    <execution>
                        <goals>
                            <goal>repackage</goal>
                        </goals>
                    </execution>
                </executions>
            </plugin>
        </plugins>
    </build>

From 2.1.4, the generated jar always contain the version (ex : myapp.2.1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar), what breaks our CI. Before, it would always have been myapp.jar with this configuration.

I didn't see anything relevant in the changelog about this.

Thanks for feedback.

Looks related to this : #16202

Applying this recommandation fixes the problem

@mpalourdio the finalName attribute is read-only (and therefore not advertized in the doc) as of Spring Boot 2.1.0.M1, see #12608 - It's a mystery to me why Maven would allow you to set the value anyway. This should have been done as part of the upgrade to 2.1.0 but it looks like you're all set now.

Thanks for feedback, I had totally missed this change !
