SInce it is XML, you could use the Java DOM or Sax parsers. Chris

We need to (programmatically) do several changes on Maven POMs, e.g. adding and removing dependencies and properties. Currently we're using the MavenXpp3Reader and MavenXpp3Writer classes to read and write the pom.xml files, but in the output files, all comments are removed, the XML nodes are reordered and formatting (indentations, empty lines) is lost. Does anybody know a way how to read and write POM files without loosing formatting ordering and comments? Best regards Marc
