The original intent of the script was to simplify the bump of the POM versions as well as the static STABLE_VERSION field in the UpgradeChecker class on release. In the context of the IDR fork of Bio-Formats, additional functionality was added to manage versions for a custom groupId.
As the UpgradeChecker.STABLE_VERSION has been deprecated and the IDR fork is no longer active, this script is redundant and can be fully replaced by
mvn versions:set
which is the current documented workflow for Bio-Formats releases.https://github.com/search?q=org%3Aome%20bump_maven_version&type=code indicates there are 2 downstream documentation places which refer to this script and which I can update if this PR is approved
