  org.apache.maven.shared.release.util.PomFinder

public class PomFinder
extends Object

This utility class helps with finding a maven pom file which got parsed previously. It uses the fact that the combination of any parent ids plus the ids of the current pom itself is unique.

This is e.g. needed for SCM systems which do not support sparse checkout but only can checkout the repository as whole like e.g. GIT. If the module which we are going to release is not in the parent directory, we first need to search for the 'right' sub directory in this case. subdirectory

Usage:

PomFinder is a statefull class. One instance of this class intended for a singular use! You need to create a new instance if you like to search for another pom.

Parse an origin pom in a given directory with parsePom(java.io.File) This will act as the information about what to search for.

Search for the matching pom in a given tree using findMatchingPom(java.io.File)
