How to override the plugin version seen by plugin manager area

[Michael Carter]

Hopefully a quick question with a quick answer.

I have this in my pom.xml to override the file name:

        <finalName>${project.artifactId}-${project.version}-${timestamp}</finalName>

How do I get the ${timestamp} added to the version that the plugin manager sees?  I'm assuming it's the Implementation-Version and/or Plugin-Version in the MANIFEST.MF but can't seem to figure out how to manipulate it in the pom.xml

Thanks,

Michael

Quick answer: you cannot.

Long answer: replace `maven-release-plugin` with something based on
Maven “CI-friendly” versions. Would not recommend it unless there is a
compelling need.

Recent releases of Jenkins also show release dates in the plugin manager, the release dates are shown on the plugins site and in tooltips on the archives page, so I would be surprised if there is such a need while following our recommended practices.

I also wouldn't be surprised if this behavior breaks some parts of our automation.
