 - **env.user**: Replace `<env_name>` with the appropriate environment name (e.g., `dev`, `qa`, etc.).
 - **env.endpoint**: The environment where the application under test is deployed. Replace `<base_env>` with the correct base URL for the environment (e.g., `https://api-internal.<env_name>.mosip.net`).
 - **env.testLevel**: Set this to `smoke` to run only smoke test cases, or `smokeAndRegression` to run both smoke and regression tests.
-- **jar**: Specify the name of the JAR file to execute. The version will change according to the development code version. For example, the current version may look like `apitest-prereg-1.2.1-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar`.
+- **jar**: The JAR built in `target/`, named `apitest-prereg-<version>-jar-with-dependencies.jar`, where `<version>` is the `<version>` in `pom.xml`. The `apitest-prereg-*-jar-with-dependencies.jar` pattern above picks it up, so the command does not change when the version does.
