["Oliver B. Fischer (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

    [ https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-5743?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=360511#comment-360511 ] 

Oliver B. Fischer commented on MNG-5743:
----------------------------------------

My request is very similar to MNG-5102. MNG-5102 addresses a more advanced use cases but for 95% of all projects dealing with huge POMs the possibility to split a POM in multiple disjunct subparts.

Can you give me some arguments why this wouldn't be helpfull?

> Please add the possibility to split a POM into multiple files. A huge POM is difficult to maintain and it is also difficult to navigate through a huge POM. 
> So it would be nice to have the possibility to split a POM into multiple files.
> This could be achived by adding an {{include}} directive or by supporting configuration directory as suggested in [Optional support for splitting up pom.xml in multiple files|http://docs.codehaus.org/x/BgSV].
> Adding this feature would be help to promoted Maven in new projects. Futhermore it would be helpful for all maintaining large Maven based projects.
