Is there any way of installing the pom.xml file from inside an existing artifact using the maven-install-plugin ?
Currently when we have an artifact created in a maven build the artifact includes the pom.xml file. Using the goal install:install-file we can install the arrtifact(jar-file) and the install plugin will read the pom.xml insiden the artifact to get the groupId and name of the artifact during the installation. We would like the installer to also be able to extract and install the pom.xml file from the artifact at the same time. I find it odd that it's not done during the installation of the artifact since it's already reading the pom.xml the logical step from my point of view is to also install it. Currently I'm forced to create a small ant-script to extract the pom.xml file and install it separatly. So is it possible to do this with the current tool that I have missed or could someone suggest a way to get this into the suggested improvment list for the project ? /J
