Hi,

I am trying to make an inclusion in my pom.xml, something like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE project [
	<!ENTITY base_pom SYSTEM "http://localhost/poms/java-project.pom">
]>

<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"
	xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
	xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 
http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd">
	(...)

	&base_pom;
</project>

The the URL naturally resolves OK and XML validates fine. When I try to 
invoke any goal however I get:


[INFO] 
------------------------------------------------------------------------
[ERROR] FATAL ERROR
[INFO] 
------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] Error building POM (may not be this project's POM).


Project ID: unknown
POM Location: C:\workspace_rad\Domain\pom.xml

Reason: Parse error reading POM. Reason: could not resolve entity named 
'base_pom' (position: END_TAG seen ...</description>\r\n\r\n\t&base_pom;... 
@16:12)


[INFO] 
------------------------------------------------------------------------

...</description>\r\n\r\n\t&base_pom;... @16:12)

Is it possible to use <!ENTITY in pom.xml? It seems to be ignored. Bug?

Regards

Maciej
