I have a pom.xml, that I want to change the properties values for tags that starting in a certain pattern.
I usually use xmlstarlet to manipulate XML bu
I don't have xmlstartet but I can help with sed
sed -ibak 's/\(]*>\)0.8-SNAPSHOT/\10.9-SNAPSHOT/' pom.xml
will do the job and backup your original file in pom.xml.bak if needed. I you dont want this backup file, remove bak after the i flag.
