John Casey closed MASSEMBLY-378.
--------------------------------

       Resolution: Fixed
    Fix Version/s: 2.2-beta-6
         Assignee: John Casey

This has been fixed for awhile now, since we changed the way assembly interpolation was done. I've just added an IT to verify it, though.

> I have a home directory that, for reasons that are mostly uninteresting, has a & in it. Using ${basedir} in my projects' assembly descriptors causes the XML parser for the descriptor to complain about
> {{[INFO] Error reading assemblies: Error reading descriptor at: src/main/assembly/examples.xml: Cannot read assembly descriptor from interpolating filter of serialized version.}}
> {{entity reference names can not start with character ' ' (position: START_TAG seen ...<directory>/Volumes/Network Users & ... @7:43)}}
> This seems to also be true for any other XML-magic character (any from the set &, <, >, ", or ').
> Attached is a zip of a minimal project that demonstrates the problem (even if your $HOME doesn't have & in it) way, buildable with {{mvn package}}.
