Replace value in my Web.xml with maven

I have in my Web.xml a value 

<display-name> MyApp version @minorversion@- Pré prod </display-name>

I want to know if It’s possible to read a properties file with maven to replace the value in my Web.xml when I want to compile or package..?

  1. Add src\main\resources\conf.properties:

    minorversion=1.0.0.0

  2. pom.xml 

           <plugin>
            <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
            <artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>2.4</version>
            <configuration>
                <resourceEncoding>${project.build.sourceEncoding}</resourceEncoding>
                <webResources>
                     <resource>
                          <filtering>true</filtering>
                          <directory>src/main/webapp</directory>
                          <includes>
                            <include>**/web.xml</include>
                          </includes>
                        </resource>
                </webResources>
                <filters>
                  <filter>src/main/resources/conf.properties</filter>
                </filters>
            </configuration>
        </plugin>

  3. web.xml 

    ...
@minorversion@

    or 

    ${minorversion}
...

You can use the maven-replacer-plugin

              <plugin>
                    <groupId>com.google.code.maven-replacer-plugin</groupId>
                    <artifactId>replacer</artifactId>
                    <version>1.5.3</version>
                    <executions>
                        <execution>
                            <id>REPLACE</id>
                            <goals>
                                <goal>replace</goal>
                            </goals>
                            <phase>{Phase to execute in}</phase>
                          <configuration>
                                <file>${Path to file to replace}</file>
                                <regex>true</regex>
                                <token>${Regex to match in file}</token>
                                <value>${New Value to Replace matched}</value>
                                <regexFlags>
                                    <regexFlag>MULTILINE</regexFlag>
                                    <regexFlag>DOTALL</regexFlag>
                                </regexFlags>
                            </configuration>
                        </execution>
                    </executions>
                </plugin>
