[jira] [Commented] (MDEP-699) Create a goal to add a new dependency to an existing pom

["Martin Kanters (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MDEP-699?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17219662#comment-17219662 ] 

Martin Kanters commented on MDEP-699:
-------------------------------------

I think it would be useful to have this, mainly in the scope of tutorials. Instead of having to copy/paste 5+ lines of xml code to your pom file, only 1 command line invocation would be needed.

I gave it a quick try, but will park it because of one major concern. In the current implementation it will reformat the whole pom file, which is undesirable in my opinion.

If anyone wants to continue this, feel free:

> I work with third party or open source maven projesct, and existing pom files. I would like to insert additional dependencies to the pom, in command line, not via manual editing or shells. Is it possible to create a specific goal for that ?
> Thanks for your help
