     Assign To: Brett Porter
    Resolution: Duplicate

> Optionally split up/partition pom.xml with XInclude
> ---------------------------------------------------
>
>          Key: MNG-1890
>          URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-1890
>      Project: Maven 2
>         Type: Improvement

>   Components: POM
>     Versions: 2.0.1
>     Reporter: Geoffrey
>     Assignee: Brett Porter

>
> A pom.xml can get really big, considering it holds more information then 
> maven.xml and project.xml together.
> In Java is a bad idea to have a class with more then 500 lines.
> In Spring they use the <import tag to split up applicationContext files.
> But there already is a standard to partition xml files: XInclude.
> From a user perspective a partitioned pom.xml would be a lot more maintable 
> since we could decide to make a
> pom-dependencies.xml etc if we we want.
> Problems:
> - Sending the pom to the repository should merge it.
> - Continuum needs a non-partioned pom
> - pom processing mevenide's etc.
