------------------------------------------------------------
It would be great to have this feature. At least 50% of the lines of my poms is
the dependencies section. With the support of using attributes, the dependency
section will be reduced at least 70% in lines and more easy to read.
For example, from 4 lines:
{code:xml}
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.16</version>
</dependency>
{code}
to just one line:
{code:xml}
<dependency groupId="org.apache.maven.plugins"
artifactId="maven-surefire-plugin" version="2.16"/>
{code}
