Description

currently there is no reliable way to detect whether a given POM is a v3 pom (from maven1) or a v4 pom (from maven2-alpha-0+). This makes it impossible to look at *.pom and decide which conversions to use in validating and/or cleaning the POM, and moreover which libraries to use in reading the file (they are separate Xpp3Reader implementations).

It would be good to be able to sort out a repository that currently contains both maven1- and maven2-produced artifacts, and normalize them into maven2 format.
