This project provides an XInclude extension for Maven 4. It allows POMs to use xinclude support 
and XML entities to refer to xml snippets located inside the project. It does not support loading
external documents.

Usage
-----
To use this extension, the following declaration needs to be done in your `${rootDirectory}/.mvn/extensions.xml`:
```
<extensions xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/EXTENSIONS/1.2.0">
    <extension>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.extensions</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-xinclude-extension</artifactId>
        <version>@project.version@</version>
    </extension>
</extensions>
```
This allows defining a POM with XInclude pointers and XML entities:
```
<!DOCTYPE foo SYSTEM "../foo.dtd">
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"
         xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
         xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"
         xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd
                             http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude https://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude/XInclude.xsd">


    <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>

    <xi:include href="../snippets.xml" xpointer="id-parent" />

    <groupId>&groupId;</groupId>
    <artifactId>child</artifactId>
    &version;
    <packaging>jar</packaging>

</project>
```
