----------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
> pom:install should produce a temporary standalone POM to copy to repo
> ---------------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: MPARTIFACT-49
> URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MPARTIFACT-49
> Project: maven-artifact-plugin
> Type: Improvement
> Reporter: John Casey
> Assignee: Brett Porter
> Priority: Blocker
> Fix For: 1.5

>
> Currently, pom:install does a file copy to the local repo. This has multiple
> problems.
> * Entities are not resolved, and entity imports are not copied.
> * Extends path can be relative, which makes it nearly impossible to use the
> pom in a meaningful way without also finding it's parent (usually the only
> way to resolve ../project.xml would be to do an scm checkout; but that info
> is in the pom that won't parse).
> I propose the following:
> prior to the file copy inside pom:install and pom:deploy, there should be a
> prereq="pom:generate-standalone" which would literally take the Project
> instance in memory and serialize it to a temporary project.xml (let's say
> target/project.xml or something). The pom:install and pom:deploy goals would
> then copy *that file* to the repo rather than the original project.xml file.
> It would:
> * Remove the extends element, because the Project instance is the result of
> any merges
> * Remove the issue of discorporeal entities, since entity resolution would
> have happened before parsing the project.xml at the beginning of pom:xxx
> I think this is still logically valid, since any pom in the repo is
> considered an artifact, and should be able to stand on it's own without
> complex interpretation. It would also be easy to do with xstream or any other
> type of xml serialization...even xpp3's XmlSerializer could do it, and the
> code to do so would be of minimal size.
