    Description

      The pom.xml as we know it has reached it limits, but it is quite hard to do improvements as long as the local pom (as part of the sources) is exactly the same as the file being published.
      For the Maven eco system it is important that the published file will still be a model 4.0.0 to ensure other projects can still depend on these artifacts.

      This will be a first step to separate the local pom from the remote pom. The process to come to the effective pom will change a little bit

      pre-build
      pom.xml (raw model) -> BuildPomXMLFilter -> inheritence -> effective pom/model

      This means that we can enrich the pom to make it a valid effective pom again.
      In this case we can do the following:

      • resolve the cifriendly placeholders, so it will work in multimodules too.
      • resolve parent-version. By removing the version from the parent, the filter will get the version based on the relativePath. If the groupId and artifactId don't match, the version can't be solved and Maven will fail with a missing version for the parent.
      • resolve reactor versions. By removing the versions from reactor dependencies, the filter will look up the matching version. If there's no version for the groupId+artifactId, the version can't be solved and Maven will fail with a missing version for the dependency.

      pre-distribution (install/deploy)
      pom.xml -> BuildPomXMLFilter -> ConsumerPomXMLFilter -> consumer pom

      This means that the XML used to build build the effective pom is used, and can be adjusted during copy/upload.

      In this case we can do the following:

      • Remove the modules -elements, since this is local path information and not useful after building
      • Remove the relativePath-element, since this is local path information and not useful after building

      This PoC has the following goals:

      • It will give us experience with manipuating files before build AND during install/deploy.
      • We can see IDEs and CI servers can handle this and how we can move forward.

      This feature will at first be disabled by default and can be activated with the System property maven.experimental.buildconsumer=true
