I think they are! see your own comments below: > > I'm not sure what you mean by pure: as far as I have always > thought, the > POM would describe everything about a project.

Maybe even maven.xml is a part of POM (it contains definition of goals which can be inherited by other projects) So we can imagine methods like: List<Goal> Project.getGoals() (returns all goals implemented in maven.xml file of given project + all inherited goals) which can be inherited by child projects. As far as I understand it today when POM will be read from database, ldap there will be no differnce between things which are coming from project.xml, project.properties or maven.xml. my 2 cents Michal --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
