title: way too long maven url
body: <p>I'm following a course that implementes Java EE standards using the Vaadin framework, Maven, Spring Boot and JPA.</p>
  
  <p>I have succesfully deployed my Maven project + modules to a Jboss WildFly Server.</p>
  
  <p>A minor error that is ocurring is: in the course, the application URL is </p>
  
  <p><a href="http://localhost:8080/univers-web/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://localhost:8080/univers-web/</a>*</p>
  
  <p>but when I compile and run the application I have to type:</p>
  
  <p><a href="http://localhost:8080/univers-web-1.3.6.RELEASE" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://localhost:8080/univers-web-1.3.6.RELEASE</a></p>
  
  <p>Is a minor annoyance ,but is there a way to remove the project version from the URL name?</p>
  
  <p>I checked the pom.xml file and here is the starting snippet of code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"
      xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
      xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd"&gt;
      &lt;modelVersion&gt;4.0.0&lt;/modelVersion&gt;
  
      &lt;artifactId&gt;univers-web&lt;/artifactId&gt;
      &lt;packaging&gt;war&lt;/packaging&gt;
  
      &lt;parent&gt;
          &lt;groupId&gt;org.springframework.boot&lt;/groupId&gt;
          &lt;version&gt;1.3.6.RELEASE&lt;/version&gt;
          &lt;artifactId&gt;spring-boot-starter-parent&lt;/artifactId&gt;
      &lt;/parent&gt;
  
      &lt;properties&gt;
          &lt;java.version&gt;1.8&lt;/java.version&gt;
      &lt;/properties&gt;
      .
      .
      .
  
  &lt;/project&gt;
  </code></pre>
