I'm also interested in organising a Maven project BOF at each. Any

Could we discuss a way to allow the parser to include xml fragments to
prevent duplicate xml? AFAIK the problem is with the plexus XML
parser that doesn't support entities
This would be supported by what we've called mixins which would be a
very defined way to bring in new snippets of XML. Entities were
suppressed by design to prevent N ways of end-running the management
sections. We recognize the need to be a bit more flexible but were
trying to prevent myriad ways of doing the same thing.
It is modello that is responsible for the parsing of the POM, not the
Plexus XML parser. Coming to the BOF to discuss would be best coming
with an implementation centre the discussion around. So far the ideas
tossed around would centre around pulling snippets or mixins using a
coordinate in much the same way we would pull other dependencies
(though it could be an attribute for brevity). You can put a proposal
in the user wiki if you want to try and define the rules which we can
help you refine. The first use case that has been discussed is trying
to provide a little block that would define all the latest release of
plugins that people could easily include in their POMs to provide
stability in using plugins in a reproducible way.
