-------------------------------------
Fix Version/s: Issues to be reviewed for 4.x
> Allow for comment elements inside POM
> -------------------------------------
>
> Key: MNG-5926
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-5926
> Project: Maven
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: POM
> Reporter: James Green
> Priority: Trivial
> Fix For: Issues to be reviewed for 4.x
>
>
> I have spent hours tracking down why something exists as it does within a
> company POM. On multiple occasions.
> All because there is no obvious documentation for things like dependencies.
> Yes, we could use XML comments but these will not show in the results of any
> documentation tools.
> What I am asking for is a <comment> element to be permitted within a
> <dependency>, <exclusion>, and probably a few other areas but those are real
> immediate areas of need.
> This was discussed briefly on the -users mailing list many months ago and was
> generally met with approval. I can't remember adding it here though...
