Optionally split up/partition pom.xml with XInclude
---------------------------------------------------
Key: MNG-1890
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-1890
Project: Maven 2
Type: Improvement
Components: POM
Versions: 2.0.1
Reporter: Geoffrey
A pom.xml can get really big, considering it holds more information then
maven.xml and project.xml together.
In Java is a bad idea to have a class with more then 500 lines.
In Spring they use the <import tag to split up applicationContext files.
But there already is a standard to partition xml files: XInclude.
>From a user perspective a partitioned pom.xml would be a lot more maintable
>since we could decide to make a
pom-dependencies.xml etc if we we want.
Problems:
- Sending the pom to the repository should merge it.
- Continuum needs a non-partioned pom
- pom processing mevenide's etc.
