Build Helper Maven Plugin 3.8.0 lets regex-property and regex-properties apply several regex replacements in order, and quiets the log when a non-match is allowed. The requirements are unchanged: Maven 3.9.0 or later, Java 8.

✨ Highlights

• Ordered regex replacements. The new replacements list of regex/replacement pairs works in regex-property and in each regexPropertySetting of regex-properties. Each pair applies to the result of the previous one, so a single property can go through several rewrites. It cannot be combined with regex/replacement, which work as before (#277, #77 by @JonathanLennox; also covers #236 by @donatelloOo).
• Quieter non-matches. With failIfNoMatch set to false, a non-match is expected, so it is now logged at debug level instead of info (#278, #152 by @garretwilson).
• Documentation moved from APT to Markdown (#271).

Full changelog

Build Helper Maven Plugin 3.7.0 adds system time zone support to timestamp-property, literal replacement support to regex-property and regex-properties, and updates the remove-project-artifact deprecation guidance. It requires Maven 3.9.0 or later and Java 8 or later.

✨ Highlights

• System time zone in timestamp-property: Setting <timeZone>system</timeZone> (case-insensitive) formats the timestamp using the JVM's default time zone instead of GMT, working with both current and build time sources (#250).
• Literal replacement mode in regex-property and regex-properties: Setting <replacementLiteral>true</replacementLiteral> treats backslashes (\) and dollar signs ($) in <replacement> as literal characters rather than regex group references or escapes — particularly useful when substituting Windows file paths such as ${project.build.directory} (#249).
• Updated remove-project-artifact deprecation guidance: The documentation for the deprecated remove-project-artifact goal now points users to Maven Resolver's split local repository feature (-Daether.enhancedLocalRepository.split) as the modern alternative (#268, #270).
