Elliotte Rusty Harold updated MNG-5926: --------------------------------------- Issue Type: New Feature (was: Improvement) > Allow for comment elements inside POM > ------------------------------------- > > Key: MNG-5926 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-5926 > Project: Maven > Issue Type: New Feature > 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... -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
