> This bug may be filed in the wrong place; for that I apologize in advance.
> My Maven plugin configuration (which I think is parsed and implemented by Plexus) does not preserve leading or trailing (or only) whitespace content.
> A (mapped-to-{{String}}) configuration element like this:
> {noformat}
> <suffix>   Hello   </suffix>
> {noformat}
> results in the string value "Hello" (no leading or trailing space).  The same value is produced by any one of the following constructions:
> {noformat}
> <suffix><![CDATA[   Hello   ]]></suffix>
> {noformat}
> {noformat}
> <suffix xml:space="preserve">   Hello   </suffix>
> {noformat}
> I believe this is a shortcoming of the Plexus XML configuration machinery.
