Unable to get version using artifactId from pom file - unix

Question

I am fairly new to unix shell scripting. Trying to capture version info of some artifact from xpom.xml without success.
I can't install anything extra in the system, checked that xmllint is installed.
Any solution using either direct unix command or xmllint is appreciated.
file =~/xpom.xml
<project xmlns=http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd">
<modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
<groupId>com.generic</groupId>
<artifactId>genericlist</artifactId>
<packaging>pom</packaging>
<version>10.0.25</version>
<name>GenericRelease12.x.3</name>
<description>GenericRelRepo</description>
<dependencies>
<dependency>

<dependency>
<groupId>com.db</groupId>
<artifactId>oradatabase</artifactId>
<version>7.7.7</version>
<type>jar</type>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</project>
I need to capture version of oradatabase artifactId. Solution should return 7.7.7.
I tried following without any success (got these tips from this site and modified it to meet my need:
attempt 1:
xmllint --xpath '//project/dependencies/dependency[artifactId='oradatabase']/#value' xpom.xml
it throws Unknown option --xpath
attempt 2:
artifactId=$(xmllint --format --shell "$file" <<< "cat //project/dependencies/dependency/artifactId/text()" | grep -v /)
if [[ $artifactId =~ ^(oradatabase)$ ]]
then
version=$(xmllint --format --shell "$file" <<< "cat //project/dependencies/dependency/artifactId/text()" | grep -v /)
echo "version is: " ${version}
else
echo "Not found"
fi
-- returns Not found.
Thanks for any help on this.

You can try this:
grep -A 1 oradatabase pom.xml | sed -nr 's|.*<version>(.*)</version>.*|\1|p'
grep -A 1 oradatabase finds the line with oradatabase and prints also one line after it (context after).
Then sed simply extracts the version number.
