Tamas Cservenak created MNG-8004: ------------------------------------ Summary: Enhance location tracking Key: MNG-8004 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-8004 Project: Maven Issue Type: Task Components: Core Reporter: Tamas Cservenak Fix For: 4.0.0, 4.0.0-alpha-11
So far location tracking gives us source file, line num and col num, which is fine. But historically, Maven2 had only parent, Maven3 introduced import-pom, while Maven4 will have things like XInclude as well. It would be great if we could enhance location with 4th element: "why (or how) did this element end up here". Was it from POM, from parent? For import-pom? Or XIncluded? -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.10#820010)
