Re: POM root Element: project or model?
Joachim Schreiber wrote: The Docs on m2 web site for the POM shows model as the root element. In the m2 cvs is a mixture of project and model elements in the pom.xml files. It should be project... it is in the process of being changed. Actually, either is valid, for now. What is the planned name for this element, project or model? BTW Why not using a namespace declaration (and an online accessible schema representation of the pom) in the pom.xml? It's planned to provide a generated schema - however, different namespaces will not tend to be used inside the POM - we've looked at the option and preferred to keep it simple, finding no need to add them at this point. - Brett - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Yes this is not really a problem for m2 ;-) I was just playing around with the new m2 model. For me the POM is a repository for Metadata about a project/artifact. I want to parse the pom.xml files and transfer them to a XTM TopicMap. For XML parsing I very often use XMLBeans... and XMLBeans needs a schema and xml instances with a namespace. In the moment I have created a schema for the new m2 POM and use it with XML Beans for parsing the POM. Before I give the XML to the parser I add a science fiction namespace and good ;-) Yes I know this is just my personal kismet and I can live with it ;-) but perhaps other schema and namespace aware parsers for examples in IDE's or Tools may have the same problem. Just an idea and a report from working with m2. Not a criticism! yo - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Before I give the XML to the parser I add a science fiction namespace and good ;-) If you'd like, you can use the same code Maven does: maven-model-2.0-alpha-1.jar (you'll also need plexus-utils-1.0-alpha-2.jar) MavenXppReader reader = new MavenXpp3Reader(); Model pom = reader.read( new FileReader( new File( pom.xml ) ) ); (with suitable error handling on the FileReader, of course) From that, you have pom.getName(), pom.getBuild(), pom.getDependencies(), etc - basically the same as XMLBeans would give you.
