Comments in packages

This plugin not only merges the types included in your package but also the comments. If you place a comment before the Package tag it will be moved to the merged file. The comments before any type will be moved as well. With an example, given files:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!-- Deployment details... -->
<Package xmlns="http://soap.sforce.com/2006/04/metadata">
   <types>
      <members>Account</members>
   <name>CustomObject</name>
   </types>
   <version>64.0</version>
</Package>

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Package xmlns="http://soap.sforce.com/2006/04/metadata">
   <!-- Details on custom objects -->
   <types>
      <members>Case</members>
   <name>CustomObject</name>
   </types>
   <version>64.0</version>
</Package>
</pre>

The result will include both comments as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!-- Deployment details... -->
<Package xmlns="http://soap.sforce.com/2006/04/metadata">
   <!-- Details on custom objects -->
   <types>
      <members>Account</members>
      <members>Case</members>
   <name>CustomObject</name>
   </types>
   <version>64.0</version>
</Package>
