Introducing maven-pom-mode

As part of my work on malabar-mode it has become apparent that EMACS needs a maven pom mode.  Looking around the various maven pom related projects, there are a lot of good ideas but not one project that incorporates them all.  The maven-pom-mode was created to give EMACS a better way of working with your pom files.

Current functionality

EMACS has built in XML editing via nxml-mode which includes tag completing, listing valid tags, etc.  With maven-pom-mode the schema for editing pom files is made available  to nxml-mode.

•  C-M-i give valid suggestions. 
• C-c / will close a tag.
• C-c i will complete an inline tag.
• C-c b will complete an block tag.

Installation

From the shell:

git clone https://github.com/m0smith/maven-pom-mode.git

In Emacs:

(add-to-list 'load-path "path to maven-pom-mode")
(load "maven-pom-mode")

Future

Future directions will include:

• Searching for dependency in central and adding a dependency
• Show and manipulate transitive dependencies
• Form based manipulate sections of the pom
• Integrate with malabar-mode
