---------------------------------------
Summary: ModelReader based Models are not readable anymore later
in the build
Key: MNG-8253
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-8253
Project: Maven
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Christoph Läubrich
Assume you have a ModelReader that reads a custom file (e.g. json, yaml, ...)
this currently seem to result in the ModelReader Source#getPath being used as
the "file model" for the POM.
This confuses some parts of maven (especially plugins) as they assume that this
file is always an POM XML.
In maven-polyglot, this was circumvented by writing out the model as XML in a
file named .polyglot.<name of model file>.xml and this was set as the model
file.
This also has had some drawbacks (that an extra file is generated (and possibly
deleted after the build)) , but retained the semantics of Model#getFile to
return an (xml readable) model.
As maven4 now uses Path, one way would be to hold the model in an in-memory
path representation so that "reading" that path as a model again will simply
return a copy, but as a first iteration using an approach similar to what
polyglot does might be sufficient.
