Question

i am using maven2 , hudson and sonar
while doing sonar analysis – i would like some way to append the Hudson build# to the maven version of the project

The project version changes every 2 weeks – so take an example in the first 2 weeks :

<version>abc-SNAPSHOT</version>

after two weeks the next version could be something like :

<version>xyz-SNAPSHOT</version>

what I want is to append the build# to the version already present in pom – which is being picked up and passed to sonar

NOTE:

-Dsonar.projectVersion=xyz-SNAPSHOT-${BUILD_NUMBER}

Here – I am hardcoding the version and dynamically passing the build#

what I want is to be able to dynamically pick up the version from maven ( without changing it ) and simply appending the build# dynamically

any ideas of how this can be achieved ?
Thanks,

You can use Groovy script to read the version and put on environment variable:
Getting Maven Version in Jenkins

I used this script on time to parse the version:

def project = new XmlParser().parse("/pom.xml")
def artifactId =  project.artifactId.text().trim()
def version = project.version.text().trim()
println "ArtifactId: [" + artifactId + "]"
println "Version: [" + version + "]"

After set “Additional properties” field with:
-Dsonar.projectVersion=${MAVEN_VERSION}-${BUILD_NUMBER}

If Jenkins don’t get the variable, try install:
