I am sceptical about somebody would be interested in another schema (handling new one) than the one used with POM. I think we are too inside in ourselves. Imaging the developers or companies using Maven nowadays, or IDEs, easily they would say "no difference, the POM works for me so no issue - let's keep it".
I think the biggest boost is in build-pom and not in deploy/consumer-pom. For me deploy/consumer-pom is just a list of runtime dependencies as the most important XML entries. Sorry that I am not nice person to you in this thread. I don't use to be like this. -- Cheers Tibor -- View this message in context: http://maven.40175.n5.nabble.com/Re-POM-Model-version-4-1-0-in-3-4-0-SNAPSHOTs-tp5878254p5879339.html Sent from the Maven Developers mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
