@Marc Rohlfs : AFAIK if you do a modification in the POM (as project object model) in memory (via a plugin probably) then the pom.xml file is already behind you and comments are already lost during the loading phase of the POM. Whatever the materialization of the POM you choose, comments will be lost.
