Support for Node updates in Maven Frontend Plugin

[Philipp000]

Tell us more.

We are using the Maven Frontend Plugin (https://github.com/eirslett/frontend-maven-plugin) to manage the node version during maven builds.

Currently, this setting is not used by the renovate bot.

It would be great, if the renovate bot would support updates configured for this plugin, e.g. Node version in the pom.xml:

<plugin>
    ...
    <configuration>
        <nodeVersion>v4.6.0</nodeVersion>
        ...
    </configuration>
</plugin>

In case someone else is coming across this problem:

By using the predefined customManagers:mavenPropertyVersions it is possible to make renovate update the node version with the following configuration:

<properties>
  <!-- renovate: datasource=node-version depName=node -->
  <node.version>v20.13.1</node.version>
  <!-- renovate: datasource=npm depName=pnpm -->
  <pnpm.version>9.1.1</pnpm.version>
</properties>

and using these versions in the configuration of the maven-frontend-plugin.
