NAME
pom_xpath_set - set contents of XML node from XML file
SYNOPSIS
%pom_xpath_set XPath new-contents [XML-file-location]
DESCRIPTION
This macro patches specified POM file replacing contents of all XML
nodes described by the XPath expression with given new text content.
This works on both elements and attributes.
XPath is an expression describing a set of XML nodes to be removed from
the POM file. It must be a properly formated XPath 1.0 expression, as
described in http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath/.
Maven POM files use specific XML namespace
http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 as default. This namespace needs to
be explicitly specified in XPath expressions by prefixing all node
names with pom (i.e. pom:modelVersion).
Many other XML formats also use namespaces which you have to explicitly
specify. This script will use the namespace prefix names from the xmlns
declarations in the document’s root element. So if the document begins
with <root xmlns:my="myurl.com"> you would select the root node with
XPath expression /my:root. If the document specifies a default
namespace (eg xmlns="myurl.com") use the prefix named default to acces
elements in that namespace.
XML location can be either a full path to the XML, or a path to the
directory containing pom.xml or ivy.xml. If XML location is not given
then pom.xml or ivy.xml from current working directory is used. When
both pom.xml and ivy.xml are present, pom.xml is processed. You can
specify more file locations.
