maven-replacer-plugin:replacer is a build plugin to replace tokens within a file with a given value and fully supports regular expressions.

Plugin artifactId was renamed to "replacer" from "maven-replacer-plugin" due to a naming policy change from the Maven team

April 16th, 2014: Version 1.5.3 has been released. (see Release Notes)

This plugin is typically used to change database or network configuration within a project during a maven build. It also can perform some advanced text replacement functions, such as providing a separate token/value file to keep your build script concise, writing resulting text after replacement to a separate file and token matching with regular expressions. There is even support for making exact document node replacements via X-Path. (See the Usage Guide for more).

Please read the Installation guide and Usage Guide on how to integrate maven-replacer-plugin into your build.
