I began to fix this one. I modified the maven-model to use a
new one which uses dom4j and not xpp3 (and it works). For that I
also modified the dom4j plugin in modello to add a read method with
an url parameter. But dom4j is slower than xpp3. I don't test it
yet but it could be possible to do it with the woodstox plugin
which implements stax 2 [1]. It's not really complicated to change
it and to update the code in the core and in the artifact plugin.
When it will work we'll have to release modello and maven-model
3.0.2. There's also the documentation about incompatibilities to
update.
modello has had a release, so you can use that unless you need
additional changes. It includes a StAX plugin so you can try that. I
recommend using the StAX RI - while I haven't assessed the relative
performance it is half the size and I know of at least one bug in
woodstox in handling windows line endings.
