----------------------------------

             Summary: make it possible to mark a maven module as deprected
                 Key: MNG-5604
                 URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-5604
             Project: Maven 2 & 3
          Issue Type: Wish
          Components: Artifacts and Repositories
    Affects Versions: 3.2.1
            Reporter: Klaus Claszen
            Priority: Minor


It would be great if it would be possible to mark a maven module as 'deprecated'. It would help to document that a module is outdated. The information could be used during build processes to show warnings and guide the user to a better alternative.

Maybe it could be a pom enhancement linke this

{code:xml}
<deprecated>
  <reason>not maintained anymore</reason>
  <instead>
    <groupId>foo</groupId>
    <artifactId>bar</artifactId>
  </instead>
</deprecated>
{code}
