Thanks for replying! I think I understand this better now. In my build logs, I have [INFO] [deploy:deploy] [INFO] Retrieving previous build number from artifacts Uploading: /path/to/shared/repo/project/mymodule/1.0-SNAPSHOT/mymodule- 1.0-20060802.093051-13.jar 71K uploaded So, it looks like Maven looks at the shared repository, and figures out a version qualifier & build number. The qualifier is the timestamp and build number is figured out by incrementing the last build number. In my case, I guess, since I started from a clean repository and no build has failed yet, the build number corresponds to Continuum build number (which mislead me into thinking that Continuum decides the build number). I will try the Maven user list.
