How to replace property value with regular expression

Question

In my pom.xml I have the following property:

  <properties>
    <targetJar>${app.targetPath}/${app.targetName}-${app.version}.jar</targetJar>
  </properties>

But really I don't know ${app.version} ! It may change in the future. Today it looks like: app-2.0.0.jar . Tomorrow it may be app-2.3.1.jar .

And I must allow it. What are possible solutions?

Answer 1

Your pom.xml has a <properties> element that looks similar to this and is often located at the beginning of the file:

<properties>
    <maven.test.failure.ignore>true</maven.test.failure.ignore>
    <spring.framework.version>3.0.6.RELEASE</spring.framework.version>
    <spring.batch.version>2.1.7.RELEASE</spring.batch.version>
</properties>

Within that element your version numbers are defined! They will not change by itself !
