10
12 This macro patches specified POM file replacing contents of all XML
13 nodes described by the XPath expression with given new text content.
14 This works on both elements and attributes.
15
16 XPath is an expression describing a set of XML nodes to be removed from
17 the POM file. It must be a properly formated XPath 1.0 expression, as
18 described in http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath/.
19
20 Maven POM files use specific XML namespace
21 http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 as default. This namespace needs to
22 be explicitly specified in XPath expressions by prefixing all node
23 names with pom (i.e. pom:modelVersion).
24
25 Many other XML formats also use namespaces which you have to explicitly
26 specify. This script will use the namespace prefix names from the xmlns
27 declarations in the document’s root element. So if the document begins
28 with <root xmlns:my="myurl.com"> you would select the root node with
29 XPath expression /my:root. If the document specifies a default
30 namespace (eg xmlns="myurl.com") use the prefix named default to acces
31 elements in that namespace.
32
33 XML location can be either a full path to the XML, or a path to the
34 directory containing pom.xml or ivy.xml. If XML location is not given
35 then pom.xml or ivy.xml from current working directory is used. When
36 both pom.xml and ivy.xml are present, pom.xml is processed. You can
37 specify more file locations.
