[jira] Commented: (MRELEASE-201) Deployed POM is not valid XML

["Benjamin Bentmann (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

    [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRELEASE-201?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#action_116346 ] 

Benjamin Bentmann commented on MRELEASE-201:
--------------------------------------------

Another encoding problem: The plugin (2.0-beta-7) does not output an XML declaration in the rewritten POM. While this might be acceptable for UTF-8 encoded POMs (although I would consider it a betst practice to always output an XML declaration), it is in general wrong for any other encoding.

> If the POM has utf-8 encoding and you make usage of entities to support extended characters, these characters are no longer encoded as entities in the repository (well, the effect is already visible in target/effective-pom.xml). This is not a rule of general, POMs with packaging "pom" are installed and deployed correctly.
> Multi module example. The attached archive contains a parent POM and a POM for a jar. Both UTF-8 encoded POMs contain a developer with a name using an entitiy. Releasing the POMs they are written with the expanded entitiy making the XML invalid.
