Bump! Maven Plugin

A simple Maven plugin to bump your project version just like npm version patch|minor|major.

It updates the version in your root and submodule POMs, commits the change, and tags it in Git.

---

Features

• Increment patch, minor, or major version
• Handles multi-module projects (updates child POMs)
• Creates a Git commit and tag for the new version

---

Usage

Add the plugin to your build:

<build>
  <plugins>
    <plugin>
      <groupId>com.davidecaroselli</groupId>
      <artifactId>bump-maven-plugin</artifactId>
      <version>1.0.0</version>
    </plugin>
  </plugins>
</build>

Then run one of the following commands:

# bump patch version (1.2.3 → 1.2.4)
mvn version:patch

# bump minor version (1.2.3 → 1.3.0)
mvn version:minor

# bump major version (1.2.3 → 2.0.0)
mvn version:major

This will:

• update pom.xml (including submodules)
• commit the change (vX.Y.Z)
• create a Git tag (vX.Y.Z)
