[jira] Commented: (MSHADE-48) Dependency reduced POM is missing XML comments like license headers

["Robert Burrell Donkin (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

    [ https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MSHADE-48?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=272207#comment-272207 ] 

Robert Burrell Donkin commented on MSHADE-48:
---------------------------------------------

dependency-reduced-pom is generated from the model for the original project. Comments are not retained within the model. They aren't available to be written. I don't think it's possible to implement this.

In terms of addressing the specific use case (needing to add a license header), support for adding a header comment could be easily enough added if is good enough.

> The dependency reduced POM is currently generated from the previously parsed model and as such misses any XML comments, including the license header. For example, see [mercury-util:1.0-alpha-5|http://repo2.maven.org/maven2/org/apache/maven/mercury/mercury-util/1.0-alpha-5/mercury-util-1.0-alpha-5.pom].
