DO NOT REPLY [Bug 46285] New: Support for numeric entities is broken in Ant 1.7.1 bundled with Eclipse Ganymede

https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=46285

           Summary: Support for numeric entities is broken in Ant 1.7.1
                    bundled with Eclipse Ganymede
           Product: Ant
           Version: 1.7.1
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows Vista
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P2
         Component: Core
        AssignedTo: notifications@ant.apache.org
        ReportedBy: t.weber@torweg.net


A build file which used to work flawlessly with 1.7.0 bundled with Eclipse
Europa is broken in Eclipse Ganymede (Ant 1.7.1).

The Ant process is terminated silently without any error messages.

After a lot of wondering and try and error, I found out that the reason was a
numeric entity in an echo-task, e.g.:

<echo>&#169; some other text</echo>


After removing the entity, the build file was executed correctly again.

I just committed an AntUnit test with svn revision 720440 ( https://svn.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi?view=rev&rev=720440 ) and it passes (with
trunk and a binary ant 1.7.1 distribution).

so what you see is either a problem with the XML parser or with Eclipse's
packaging of the parser or Ant, nothing that the Ant team could help solving
since we are not involved with either.
