Hi all!

I am trying to use renovate to update my pom.xml. But I am having an issue with some dependencies from a certain data source type:

Example:

What I have in my dependencies:
<metrics.core.version>4.2.15</metrics.core.version>

The result for the update is:
<metrics.core.version>V4.2.17</metrics.core.version>

What I want is:
<metrics.core.version>4.2.17</metrics.core.version>

The problem is that sometimes it updates the pom.xml with versions with R and V prefixes. I want to always update without including the prefixesHowever

What you tried so far.

I tried to include

    {
      "matchDatasources": ["maven"],
      "matchVersions": ["*"],
      "enabled": true,
      "versioning": "enabled",
      "major": true,
      "minor": true,
      "patch": true,
      "versionPrefix": ["V", "R"],
      "ignoreUnstable": true
    }

Did not work

@rarkins Hi,. thanks for replying!

My problem is similar to @7297

Today I tried to use extractVersion into my maven index.ts (I will have multiples renovate.json in multiple repos, so I don't want to change they all to include extractVersion, I would prefer to include in my local renovate.

export const defaultConfig = {
  fileMatch: ['(^|/|\\.)pom\\.xml$', '^(((\\.mvn)|(\\.m2))/)?settings\\.xml$'],
  versioning: mavenVersioning.id,
  extractVersion:
    '^[vVrRxX](?<version>.*)$',
};

But still not working. I would appreciate if you have any idea!
