I use the following for XML editing in Ant: http://www.oopsconsultancy.com/software/xmltask/ It does a lot of nice things, but there are two issues. 1. It's old - has not been released since 2009 2. Namespace handling - it's an acknowledged issue I'll try the xslt task and see if I can get the same functionality with a little effort. My current setup depends on a lot of things that are either broken (security issues with a Jenkins plugin) or not available (Nexus 3 no longer has a REST interface, but it's coming RSN). I should get involved to see how much effort it would be to a) help address the security concerns, and b) expose in Nexus 3 the information needed. It would also be nice to set this up with other Maven repositories as well as other CI environments. True blue-green deployments would take some additional work, but that's not beyond the realm of possibility. I might spend some time doing this with Elastic Beanstalk, since $work wishes to move to AWS. . . . just my (beleaguered) two cents /mde/
