You can use this plugin for a wide range of version changes: http://mojo.codehaus.org/versions-maven-plugin/
For automatic incrementing, you might look at the release plugin: http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-release-plugin/ If neither of those do what you want, then it would probably be easier to make an enhancement to them rather than creating a new plugin. Rewriting the POM is not a tool we have generally available - both plugins have gone to some lengths to do that while preserving formatting, etc. - Brett On 22/03/2012, at 4:23 AM, Daniel Jones wrote: > Hi all, > > I'm wondering if it would be possible/feasible to write a plugin that: > > 1.
