[M2] Plugable POM provider?

[David Schneider <da...@oracle.com>]

I'd like to use Maven2 to run my builds but the ground truth metadata 
for my projects is in an existing collection of files.  I don't want to 
duplicate this information in pom.xml files.  Is there a way to plug-in 
a POM provider that will let me provide project metadata to Maven so 
that it looks like it's being read from the pom.xml file but really 
coming from another source?

Thanks in advance,
Dave

It's theoretically possible but would probably require a good deal of
effort on your part. Are we talking hundreds or files or just a handful?

I think your time might be better spent creating a converter and using
the POM as your standard.
