[jira] Commented: (MAVEN-1707) Malformed project.xml caueses unexpected error

    [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MAVEN-1707?page=comments#action_47967 ] 

Lukas Theussl commented on MAVEN-1707:
--------------------------------------

I think the error is clear enough:

Parse Fatal Error at line 1 column 1: Content is not allowed in prolog. 

What else do you want to know?

>      Project: Maven
>         Type: Bug

> My project.xml is malformed. There is a ' character before the XMl declaration that shouldn't be there. that is, it begins 
> `<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
> and it should begin
> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
> Easy enough to fix (and for me to diagnose) but Maven gets really way more confused by this than it should. 
> Even maven --info fails here. Maven should recognize this error for what it is (malformed project.xml) and provide an appropriate error message to the end user. Stack trace:
