I've tried using pure XML parsing to work with pom.xml before and it's more challenging than it should be. Parent POMs are one issue, but that's expected. What may not be obvious is that many real world pom.xml files omit the namespace declarations. This require s lot of contortions in your code to handle cases both with and without namespaces. -- Elliotte Rusty Harold elh...@ibiblio.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@maven.apache.org
