NetBeans freezes when editing pom files and some times causes loss of data

Test Scenario:

1. Create a simple Maven Project
2. Add dependencies for Axis2
3. Add Mojo axistools-maven-plugin
4. Create a <Configuration> element under it
5. Try to add Plugin parameters
(IDE offers to add a tag <Project> in code-completions)
6. Continue to add parameters (not offered by IDE) and keep saving the file

IDE saves the file a few times, and dis-allows saving the file from then on.

One has to copy the contents of the file to Clip-board, close the file, re-open the file, and paste the contents from
Clipboard in order to keep going.
