Shell command to update pom file from a variable

Question

Previously I used below command to take the version in pom.xml and increment it from one. Before increment snapshot version is, 0.0.1

#!/bin/bas         


        

Answer 1

Yes you can use sed to modify the version in pom.xml file. Simply add, at the end of your given bash script, those two lines:

LN=$(grep -n "" pom.xml | head -1 | awk -F ":" '{print $1}')
sed -i "$LN s/$version/$incrementVer/" pom.xml

Explanation:

• The first line recover the line number of the project version (in LN var)
• The second modify in place (-i parameter of sed) the pom file with new version value.
