[jira] [Commented] (MNG-7240) Add deprecation indicator property to Maven core

["Chris Kilding (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-7240?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17411969#comment-17411969 ] 

Chris Kilding commented on MNG-7240:
------------------------------------

Based on previous discussion on the mailing list, this is not a property of artifacts themselves and therefore it should not go in the POM. Rather, it's a label which can be applied to artifacts to deprecate them (and also removed to undeprecate them in the future). This makes it metadata.

The intuitive place to put this property is metadata.mdo:

[https://github.com/apache/maven/blob/76d7f58a61eb6aea8d2e8b78551e5d500cc74f6e/maven-repository-metadata/src/main/mdo/metadata.mdo]

However that may not be the only place to put it. Discussion welcome
