Hopefully information already out on the Internet. The "Quick Reference" [1] of Maven's POM might be a good guide. As for me, I like to hand-write and read POM files. I also like the *idea* of M2Eclipse's POM editor, but there is no predictable order to where it adds elements. Anyone who works hard at keeping a POM cleanly structured is going to find consternation with the tool. This could be alleviated if there was a "preferred" way to order elements. Think of this like the "code clean up" tool found in Eclipse IDE -- so no matter who or what is editing the POM, cleaning up afterwards will put it in a nicely ordered form.
