A tiny xml transformer that will update the meta data in your DTBook file and only that. No entity expansion, no anything! You get your original xml back with the updated meta data.

Clone and build with

mvn clean package

mvn clean deploy

java -Ddc:Title="New Title" -jar dtbook-update-metadata-1.0-jar-with-dependencies.jar < original.xml > updated.xml

The following meta data names are recognized.

• dc:Title
• dc:Creator
• dc:Subject
• dc:Description
• dc:Publisher
• dc:Date
• dc:Type
• dc:Format
• dc:Identifier
