HannesWell opened a new issue, #277: URL: https://github.com/apache/maven-archetype/issues/277
### New feature, improvement proposal Currently archetype-common uses `jdom2` in the `MavenJDOMWriter` and associated utility classes, AFAICT mainly write a pom in `DefaultPomManager.writePom()`. In order to reduce the dependency footprint, would it be possible to migrate off jdom2 and use the DOM-parser/builder built into the JDK instead? Or are there particular reasons to use jdom(2) instead? If you consider `MavenJDOMWriter` or the associated utility classes as part of the API, for now, it could just be deprecated and a colocated `MavenDOMWriter` could be added, which is used by archetype and the dependency to jdom2 could be made optional. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
