POM Manipulation Extension (PME) is a Maven tool to align the versions in your POMs according to some external reference, sort of like a BOM but much more extensive and without the added baggage of a BOM declaration.

It is suppplied as a core library, a Maven extension (in the sense of installing to lib/ext, not pom.xml <extensions/>) and a command line tool.

This extension combines many of the features of VMan, Maven Versioning Extension and Maven Dependency Management Extension.
