             Summary: DefaultSettingsBuilder assumes all SettingsReader/Writer impls will use XML
                 Key: MNG-6435
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-6435
             Project: Maven
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Settings
    Affects Versions: 3.5.3
            Reporter: Laird Nelson


On or around line 234, interpolation of settings assumes XML:
{code}
interpolator.addPostProcessor( new InterpolationPostProcessor()
{
  @Override
  public Object execute( String expression, Object value )
  {
    if ( value != null )
    {
      // we're going to parse this back in as XML so we need to escape XML markup
      value = value.toString().replace( "&", "&amp;" ).replace( "<", "&lt;" ).replace( ">", "&gt;" );
      return value;
    }
    return null;
  }
} );
{code}

The expression being interpolated here is the result of a {{SettingsWriter}}'s output.  Obviously this kind of escaping doesn't make any sense if the {{SettingsWriter}} in question is not XML-based.
