NAME
----
pom_xpath_replace - replace XML node from XML file with given code

SYNOPSIS
--------
*%pom_xpath_replace* XPath XML-code [XML-file-location]...

OPTIONS
-------

*-r*::
Work in recursive mode. That means that given node is also replaced in
all enabled submodules of given POM file(s). Has no effect if the file is
not Maven POM.

*-f*::
Do not throw an error when one of the specified files doesn't contain
given node.

DESCRIPTION
-----------
This macro patches specified POM file removing all XML nodes described
by the XPath expression and injecting given XML code in their place.

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.
