Description

Please add the possibility to split a POM into multiple files. A huge POM is difficult to maintain and it is also difficult to navigate through a huge POM.

So it would be nice to have the possibility to split a POM into multiple files.

This could be achived by adding an include directive or by supporting configuration directory as suggested in Optional support for splitting up pom.xml in multiple files.

Adding this feature would be help to promoted Maven in new projects. Futhermore it would be helpful for all maintaining large Maven based projects.
