-----------------------------------
I registered this issue in the "kickstarting" section on FreedomSponsors.
This means that if you need this issue that bad, you can go to

few bucks for it.
> Mixin POM fragments

> I am looking for a way to _mixin_ POM fragments into POMs. Note that this
> idea is beyond parent pom inheritance because all projects inherit from a
> corporate parent pom. The problem that I am running into is that the
> corporate parent pom is turning into an _"everything but the kitchen sink"_
> POM and I'd like to dissect it into POM fragments relevant for individual
> modules.
> For example, I would like to have mixins for:
> * Java projects (that include static code analysis plugins, javadoc, etc.)
> * JPA projects (that include DDL generation)
> * Flex projects (that include flexmojos, asdoc, etc.)
> * Scala projects (that include the maven-scala-compiler plugin, scaladoc,
> etc.)
> * JavaScript projects (that include build plugins like
> maven-yuicompressor-plugin with jslint and compress goals)
> Hopefully, you get the idea. Without the ability to factor pom logic, we are
> left with two symptoms:
> # copy/paste duplication
> # complex _"it does it all"_ parent poms (which slow down builds because more
> plugins are loaded even though they might not do anything material)
> Note that a project may include multiple mixins as I could have a project
> that contains Java code, Scala code, and JavaScript.
> Another idea is that the mixins could be parameterized, so that the ultimate
> pom can be customized based on the parameters (like tokens).
> I recall reading about Mixins coming in Maven 3.1, but could not find any
> such issue to watch, so am creating one.
