Description
**[Robert Scholte](https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=rfscholte)** opened **[MRELEASE-995](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MRELEASE-995?redirect=false)** and commented
The `GenerateReleasePomsPhase` uses the MavenXpp3Writer, which means all comments are removed. In general that should not be an issue, unless there's a license added to this file as comment.

Research direction
Start by locating the GenerateReleasePomsPhase and reviewing how it uses MavenXpp3Writer during prepare-with-pom. Trace how comments are handled, then verify that generated release POMs retain license headers and other comments without losing existing behavior.
