So what I am saying is that we should be only merging POMs not arbitrary XMLVery good point. I personaly hate SGML entities mockery with all my heart - it's so ugly and so fragile! As for explicit inclusion of XML bits, problems arise when they are used acorss multiple projects - you either have to depend on the directory layout in the users workspace, or depend on Maven's local repository layout. This is better, but far from perfect. Solving this through POM dependencies is by far superior to other alternatives. The tricky part is the merge logic and control though.
