For me the POM is a repository for Metadata about a project/artifact. I want to parse the pom.xml files and transfer them to a XTM TopicMap. For XML parsing I very often use XMLBeans... and XMLBeans needs a schema and xml instances with a namespace. In the moment I have created a schema for the new m2 POM and use it with XML Beans for parsing the POM. Before I give the XML to the parser I add a science fiction namespace and good ;-) Yes I know this is just my personal kismet and I can live with it ;-) but perhaps other schema and namespace aware parsers for examples in IDE's or Tools may have the same problem. Just an idea and a report from working with m2.
