Versions Maven Plugin

Ever struggled with keeping versions of dependencies or inter-module links up to date? Now the Versions Maven Plugin comes to the rescue! It has readily available goals for tasks like:

• Advancing dependency versions
• Updating the Parent version
• Fixing a multi-module build
• Changing the project version
• Locking snapshot dependencies
• Replacing -SNAPSHOT versions with their corresponding releases

The worst thing about this plugin is that it haven't appeared sooner. It also means I can now retire my XML Editor tool's primary usage.
