substituting xml values programmatically with scala

Question

I\'m writing a tool to update some xml files (pom.xml in this case) with scala because the effort it would take in java is significantly higher than (in theory) it is with s

Answer 1

Using Scalate's Scuery CSS3 transforms and scala.xml.Elem#copy:

val xml =
  
    1.0-SNAPSHOT
    2.0
  

new Transformer {
  $("dependency > version") { node =>
    node.asInstanceOf[Elem].copy(child = Text(node.text.stripSuffix("-SNAPSHOT")))
  }
}.apply(xml)

yields

NodeSeq(1.02.0)
