Re: Plugin to Increment Project Version

[Geoffrey De Smet <ge...@gmail.com>]

I believe the versions-maven-plugin is the closest what you need,
but it will not "increment the hotfix part of the version by one" 
correctly if you are working on a release branch (for example 1.2.x) and 
a higher release has been made (for example 1.3.0).

More info here:
   https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MVERSIONS-185
