John Lin commented on MRELEASE-1008:
------------------------------------
Maven Release Plugin use JDOM to write XML documents:
[https://github.com/apache/maven-release/blob/master/maven-release-manager/src/main/java/org/apache/maven/shared/release/transform/jdom/JDomModelETL.java#L211-L231]
Since JDOM doesn't support modifying the XML document without changing the
original XML format, this issue seems to be unsolvable.
There may be some other opensource projects mentioned
[here|https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2499011/modify-xml-node-but-keep-the-xml-file-format-intact]
to modify XML document while keeping the original XML format, but they all
look like dead projects and are not being maintained.
