Usage

The required Maven options are:

• -DupdateXmlFile.updatedFile - xml file that will be updated
• -DupdateXmlFile.configFile - configuration file (local file or HTTP URL)

An example of how to run:

mvn org.chare.maven.plugins:update-xml-file-maven-plugin:update \
	-DupdateXmlFile.updatedFile=/path/to/target/pom.xml \
	-DupdateXmlFile.configFile=configurationFile

It is possible to update multiple xml files at the same time using * in the Pom path, like:

-DupdateXmlFile.updatedFile=/tmp/repo/*/pom.xml

Configuration file

The configuration file defines the properties to be updated. The file is in CSV format and has 3 fields:

• XPath to the property that will be updated
• Source Type of the reference used for the update (VARIABLE or FILE)
• Reference Property (reference xml file name + property XPath) or Variable name.

There are some configurations files as part of this project in "configs" folder.

Example of FILE source type

//properties/version.commons-io;FILE;wildflyCorePom://properties/version.commons-io

Where "wildflyCorePom" is the reference Pom which contains the version for the update and "//properties/version.commons-io" is the property XPath.

To define "wildflyCorePom" value, add it as a Maven option:

-DwildflyCorePom=/path/to/file/pom.xml

Value can be path to a local file or HTTP URL.

Example of VARIABLE source type

//properties/version.server.bom;VARIABLE;serverBomVersion

Where "serverBomVersion" is the name of the option that will be given to Maven.

To define "serverBomVersion" value, add it as a Maven option:

-DserverBomVersion=14.0.1.Final
