this patch allows changing, deleting and adding of elements as well as attributes in xml documents like pom.xml or build.xml. Example: xml-rewrite-2.py -c -a srcdir -v src -m //project/target@[name="compile"]/javac would change the value of attribute srcdir to "src" only in the 'target' element which attribute 'name' is "compile" following the root //project. xml-rewrite-2.py -c -a todir -v bin -m target/copy@[todir="pkg"] would change every 'todir' attribute value to 'bin' which previous value was 'pkg' and is in a 'copy' element surrounded by a 'target' element furthermore not only matching -m is added but qualification -q Example: xml-rewrite-2.py -d -a depends -m target -q copy@[todir="win32"] would delete all 'depends attributes' of 'target' elements wich do include a 'copy' element with an attribute 'todir' with the value 'win32' Reproducible: Always
