Paul Benedict commented on MNG-5743:
------------------------------------
Maven uses XPP3 to consume XML. but I don't know if that can process XInclude
directives. XInclude is the definitive way of breaking down a big file into
little files. If you really want this feature, I'd say go down the direction of
making sure such support exists in Maven's XML parser.
> Add support for splitted POMs
> -----------------------------
>
> Key: MNG-5743
> URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-5743
> Project: Maven
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Design, Patterns & Best Practices
> Affects Versions: Issues to be reviewed for 4.x
> Reporter: Oliver B. Fischer
>
> Please add the possibility to split a POM into multiple files. A huge POM is
> difficult to maintain and it is also difficult to navigate through a huge
> POM.
> So it would be nice to have the possibility to split a POM into multiple
> files.
> This could be achived by adding an {{include}} directive or by supporting
> configuration directory as suggested in [Optional support for splitting up
> pom.xml in multiple files|http://docs.codehaus.org/x/BgSV].
> Adding this feature would be help to promoted Maven in new projects.
> Futhermore it would be helpful for all maintaining large Maven based projects.
