So thats what I guessed when I said that the MavenProject/Model is just a stupid POJO and various plugins manipulate it with side effects. Sounds a little hacky to me but thats the way it is. So my serialization idea is nuts though. Anyhow I think that if you have some information in memory, you should NOT have to write it to the disc so that someone else can copy (read and write) it again. I thought that you store the transformed XML in that new string attribute (was it alternativeRepresentation) so the Installer/Deployer could write this string if available instead of copying the pom.xml as is. A big problem could be the encoding issue if you store XML in a string and then want to save it with some Writer, you need to know the encoding from the XML-header or you run into trouble. > > Ralph Regards Jörg -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkoLIHwACgkQmPuec2Dcv//OawCfTCpa29oxzE68SoadDl2pYOC2 uAsAn1/+M2rOHg+UlrklPJRabJD7oK6s =YnIP -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@maven.apache.org
