> In this example the error is easy to spot, but for bigger pom.xmls with more complex hierarchies it is very hard.
> Some basic validation should take place that on the merged pom.xml all of groupId, artifactId and version is available and if that is not the case, the line number of the pom.xml together with the filename should be given out, where the according information is missing.
> A similar error is emitted in case the groupId element is missing as well or there is an empty artifactId.
