Description

At the moment, bump-pom-scijava always increases the minor version number whenever anything changed in the pom. But when we increase a dependency's version number to a new major version number (breaking API as per  http://semver.org/), we need to increase the major version number of pom-scijava, too.

Major version bumps like that need a lot of manual management no matter what. There is probably no amount of tooling that will fully get us past that. And we probably don't want it to do so, even if it could—major version bumps should be "hard to do" to an extent.
