I do not know the exact internals of polyglot but for jgitver, in order to
produce a pom-4.0.0.xml compliant file, either:
- delegates to flatten-maven-plugin
- uses an internal mojo
for the production/attachment of a modified pom.xml file dump from the POM.
So in both cases, there is somewhere in the code, some ugly code like:

File dumpedModel = dumpFromModel(model);
project.setPomFile(dumpedModel)

In jgitver it is called from a Mojo(1) which in the end dump and update the
model (2)

I really thought that with 4.0 and the consumer pom this would be obsolete.

For polyglot, I tried but it does not work with maven-4.0.0, see #224 (3)
