Description

**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
It currently seems to not be possible to annotate a component with a version only and have uimaFIT fill in the rest.

**Describe the solution you'd like**
It should be possible to specify just `@ResourceMetaData(version = "6.5.1")` and have the uimaFIT enhance goal fill in the other values (in particular name) if the respective `overrideXXX` parameters are specified in the plugin configuration.

**Describe alternatives you've considered**
It could be nice if uimaFIT could pick up the version from a `@Version` annotation in the `package-info.java` file.

**Additional context**
Being able to override the version is kind of a workaround for https://github.com/bndtools/bnd/issues/6048

Research direction

Start at the uimaFIT enhance goal and its plugin configuration, then trace how @ResourceMetaData values are processed. Verify support for version-only metadata, filling in the remaining values when the respective overrideXXX parameters are set; consider the package-info.java @Version alternative separately.
