You can use the maven polyglot plugin [1] to write your POM in something other than XML. It's fairly new, but it's there. We use it in JRuby to write our POMs in Ruby. As an example of a loop:

I don't know much about the development of the project, simply that it exists and is usable. I'd file an issue with the project and see what comes of it.
