Answer 1

You can use ${env.BUILD_NUMBER} variable in your Jenkins pipeline to specify the artifact version.

To do this there are few options:

1. If you want to publish artifacts to Nexus during mvn deploy, then you can use ${revision} parameter in pom.xml file. To do this, you need to put this variable into <version> tag. E.g., <version>1.0-${revision}</version> and then provide it to the maven command in Jenkins pipeline: mvn deploy -Drevision=${env.BUILD_NUMBER}. See this answer for details.
2. Also you can use Nexus Jenkins Plugin to upload artifacts to nexus and specify the artifact version using ${env.BUILD_NUMBER} variable. See this for details.
