Well, if XML is the only problem ... ;)

HiveMind already supports module descriptors written in Groovy. HiveApp 
can support it, too, it just needs a little reworking in module 
scanning, registry building and the concept of module layouts (I 
already planned to do this, actually, but I'm too lazy to learn 
Groovy ;). It should even be possible to introduce a custom syntax, if 
you like. :)

Alternatively, we could just go for HiveMind 2.0. They're refactoring 
the model of HiveModules and making the API more flexible, to allow 
people to take more control over how the registry is built. And they're 
adding annotation-based module descriptors. But 2.0 is alpha software.

Eliminating XML from Loom's project files is on the top of my TODO list, 
when that is done, the only XML left in the current code are the module 
descriptors, the M2 POMs and the IDEA project files ... :)
