You have asked about "XML packaging". In Maven parlance packaging refers
to the type of the artifact that the current Maven "module" will
produce. Normally packaging is a kind of Java archive, of which jar,
war, ear and osgi bundle are a partial enumeration. The other common
value for packaging is "pom" which indicates that the module with pom
packaging is an aggregating module for usually 2 or more other modules.
Maven has been designed so that in normal usage, each module produces
one and only one artifact. So a module that produces a war file might be
a 1st module and a module that produces an ear including the war might
be a 2nd module and there might be a 3rd pom module that
references/manages the other 2.
In Maven parlance your question reads like, how do I get maven to
prepare a module whose result is a single XML file. Without further
explanation that doesn't seem very sensible. Perhaps you could rephrase
your question and explain the result that you are attempting to achieve,
rather than telling us what Maven technique you have been unable to apply?

Hi,
I would like to have a maven project where the packaging is "xml" (or
another file type).
Is it possible ?
in my pom:
<packaging>xml</packaging>
but Eclipse don't want to:
Description Resource Path Location Type
Project build error: 'packaging' with value 'xml' is invalid. Aggregator
projects require 'pom' as packaging. pom.xml /root-project line 1 Maven
Problem
Thank you
Frank
