i have multiple Elipse plugin projects that depend on each other. Several questions concerning that:
1) If i change the version number of one plugin, is it somehow possible to automatically update the plugin.xml files of the dependent plugins to reflect the version number change?
2) The same for Maven pom’s: can i somehow automatically update the pom’s when i change version numbers?
3) If i want to keep plugin.xml and pom.xml version numbers consistent, is there an automatic way to do so?
4) and last: If i have multiple projects that should have the same version numbers, can i somehow sync the version numbers?
As pointed out by khmarbaise, there is Tycho, which is a maven plugin that works as bridge between maven and eclipse plugins.
Those two links provide the information needed to achieve what i asked in my question:

It seems like you need to use the command
which should set all versions of the parent pom, the modules, and the plugin.xml ‘s to the given version.lik
