Looking only at the log, both writers existed before it was promoted from the sandbox in 2007. Counter was introduced by Karl Heinz while refactoring. It could very well be there's a better solution for it right now. I would expect enough coverage by ITs to confirm that.

As there are 3 classes in here, and Counter is used only by MavenJDOMWriter, while MavenJDOMWriter is used only by PomWriter, while PomWriter is used only by ShadeMojo (to write out dep reduced POM), but 2. ... the xpp3 writer is available as well, as maven-model is pulled in as direct dependency, 3. ... but moreover, the model-writer is there as well (true. as maven-core transitive dep) so, what is the reason these classes exist? Do I miss something? Thanks T
