I am looking for a way to capture the unique SNAPSHOT build number that was generated during the 'mvn deploy' phase of the build. I would like to be able to pass this version (during a Hudson build) to another process used for deploying to an application server. The key here is being able to capture the exact Maven SNAPSHOT build number, such as:

```
foobar-0.4-20100707.060244-11.war

```

I have noticed that Hudson is capturing this information if you archive the maven build artifact, but it is not clear how I can expose this variable and pass it to another job (which is what I want to do). I can see this variable in the Hudson Home directory, like so:

```
/hudson/jobs/JOB_NAME/builds/24/org.ace.widgets$foobar/archive/org.ace.widgets/foobar/0.4-20100707.060244-11

```

Any Maven and/or Hudson experts out there that have any clue how to expose the SNAPSHOT build number? Hudson is doing it?
