I imagine that is true. However, there is a YAML mode for emacs here: http://yaml-mode.clouder.jp/ (For Debian users, the 'yaml-mode' package is currently in the 'testing' distribution.) According to [0], the "Radrails" Eclipse plugin[1] understands YAML syntax. Looking at [2], it looks like NetBeans has support for YAML, also in a Ruby/Rails plugin. For jEdit, vim, and SciTE, check the links at [3] (vim supports YAML out of the box). After that, I got tired of following google links, but it looks like editor support for YAML is pretty widespread. Sure, that doesn't cover /all/ editors, but even just emacs, eclipse, and netbeans covers a lot of bases. > - How does YAML work with the maven release plugin?

However, it probably wouldn't be much work to create a reverse transform prog. One of the things I like about RelaxNG[4] is that it supports both an XML syntax and a "compact" syntax. As Eric has demonstrated, YAML could provide a similar feature for Maven pom.xml files. -Al [0] http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg01291.html [1] http://www.aptana.com/download_rails_rdt.php [2] http://wiki.netbeans.org/wiki/view/NB6VisiblePlugins [3] http://www.digitalhobbit.com/archives/2005/09/15/yaml-editor-support/ [4] http://relaxng.org/ -- :: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: Alan D.
