The
pom.xmlfile belongs to the project, as it the defines the project structure and dependencies. Hence, we commit it along with all source files into our VCS.Using a modern IDE, such as e.g., Netbeans, adds an extra incentive. The project can be opened and built by any developer directly after checkout without any extra effort.
Basically, the only time we upload a pom to a system such as Archiva/Nexus, is when we perform a
mvn release, and then it’s uploaded automatically with the compiled sources.
