How to generate an Eclipse jar file from Maven?

[Tawfik, Sameh E]

I'm using the following:

Maven version: 2.0.7
Java version: 1.6.0_02-ea
OS name: "windows xp" version: "5.1" arch: "x86"

Eclipse SDK
Version: 3.3.1.1
Build id: M20071023-1652


I've a pom.xml file to build Eclipse feature, but the generated file is
in a .zip format and I need to build a .jar file instead where I can use
the following code:

<plugin>
  <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
  <artifactId>buildnumber-maven-plugin</artifactId>
  ....
  ....

<finalName>${project.artifactId}-${project.version}-r${buildNumber}</fin
alName>


Currently, I'm using the following code in the feature pom.xml:

  <build>
    <plugins>
      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
        <artifactId>pde-maven-plugin</artifactId>
        <extensions>true</extensions>
        <configuration>
          <eclipseInstall>${eclipse.home}</eclipseInstall>
            <buildProperties> 
                        <javacSource>1.5</javacSource> 
                        <javacTarget>1.5</javacTarget> 
          </buildProperties> 
        </configuration>
      </plugin>
    </plugins>
  </build>


There must be a way where Maven builds the needed Eclipse features jar
files where the file name would indicate the version and build number or
date for example: org.eclipse.gef_3.3.1.v20070814

Does anyone know how or where I can find this information?

  Thanks,
