`finalName` parameter not allowed in maven-jar-plugin configuration

We have recently tried to upgrade our maven-jar-plugin from 2.3.2 version to 3.0.2. Since the change we were using the plugin as follows - 

<plugin>
     <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
     <artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
     <version>2.3.2</version>
     <configuration>
          <finalName>mobile-test-suite</finalName>
     </configuration>
</plugin>

But changing the version to the latest reads -

Element finalName is not allowed here

Has the usage changed or deprecated? Is there a way I can still give a final name to my jar?

Solution

  • <finalName> goes directly under <project>/<build>, not under maven-jar-plugin.
