working on it, I created a branch for plexus-xml 3.x:
https://github.com/codehaus-plexus/plexus-xml/tree/3.x

we should probably release such plexus-xml 3 that is the "normal" usual XML 
code that we used for years, extracted from plexus-utils 3

plexus-xml 4 is currently only for Maven 4


FYI, I tried to upgrade plexus-utils in a few Maven-maintained plugins
My findings are:
- many plugins use XML API, sometime just for Xpp3ParserException from Maven 
core API, sometimes because they use Modello to read/write XML...
then we have many Maven-maintained plugins to test strategies

- a few plugins don't use XML at all: in this case, upgrading plexus-utils 
from 3 to 4 is feasible just now:
https://github.com/apache/maven-jarsigner-plugin/pull/12

Hervé
