Generated POM.xml should keep comments --------------------------------------
Key: ARCHETYPE-85 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/ARCHETYPE-85 Project: Maven Archetype Issue Type: Improvement Affects Versions: 1.0-alpha-4 Environment: Win XP, Maven 2.0.7 Reporter: Ludovic Claude Priority: Minor I'm writting some custom archetype for my projects. In the POM.xml template file, I want to put some comments that would be useful for those developers who don't know Maven and to guide them. Something like: <project> [...] <dependencies> <!-- You can add/remove dependencies as you need here. --> </dependencies> </project> Unfortunately, the whole <dependencies> tag is removed from the generated pom.xml file. It would be nice to have a templating mechanism that's able to keep those comments.
