title: How to update the maven version without pom backup files
body: <p>How do you run maven with the versions plugin to update the version inside several pom.xml files and not get the annoying <code>pom.xml.versionsBackup</code> files?  (I have my poms in version control, so I don't need a backup).</p>
  
  <p>I run this command to update the version:</p>
  
  <p><code>mvn versions:set -DnewVersion=3.8.0-SNAPSHOT</code></p>
