Elliotte Rusty Harold created MNG-6864:
------------------------------------------

             Summary: Malformed --> Invalid error message
                 Key: MNG-6864
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-6864
             Project: Maven
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Elliotte Rusty Harold


Recently got this error messge:

 

[INFO] Scanning for projects...
[ERROR] [ERROR] Some problems were encountered while processing the POMs:
[ERROR] Malformed POM /home/elharo/java-docs-samples/storage/space/debugstorage/pom.xml: Unrecognised tag: 'project' (position: START_TAG seen ...<dependencies>\n \n <project>... @33:14) @ /home/elharo/java-docs-samples/storage/space/debugstorage/pom.xml, line 33, column 14

 

The error message was mostly correct. I had some elements where they weren't supposed to be. However the POM was well-formed as all tags balanced. It was invalid–not malformed–because the tags weren't where they should be.
