I added some comments to an archetype pom, and after archetype:create, the comments are preserved. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!-- This is a comment outside the project element --> <project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"; xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd";> <!-- This is a comment inside the project element --> <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion> <groupId>com.example</groupId> ... > archetype:create strips out comments from the template pom.xml.. > ---------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MNG-2666 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2666 > Project: Maven 2 > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Plugins and Lifecycle, Plugin Creation Tools > Reporter: Prasad Kashyap > > archetype:create strips out comments from the template pom.xml. > comments and license headers from the template pom.xml are gone in the newly > created project -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
