[jira] Created: (MAVEN-1637) Problem resolving entities in project.xml file

Problem resolving entities in project.xml file
----------------------------------------------

         Key: MAVEN-1637
         URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MAVEN-1637
     Project: maven
        Type: Bug
  Components: cli  
 Environment: Mandrake Linux 10.2, i686 Pentium 4, Linux Kerne 2.6.11-6mdk
Java version 1.5.0.01
    Reporter: Rob Di Marco
     Fix For: 1.1-beta-1
 Attachments: output.txt, sample.tgz

When I try to include entities from a different file into my project.xml, I am getting an error saying "could not resolve entity".

This same setup works fine in maven 1.0.2.

Attached is a tar file that contains an example that reproduces the problem.  To reproduce the problem:

1) Unzip/tar the attached file named sample.tgz 
2) cd into the sample directory
3) Run maven

EXPECT:  maven to complete successfully
RESULT: Error about not resolving the entity is thrown.

Also attached is an output.txt file that shows the error.

[jira] Closed: (MAVEN-1637) Problem resolving entities in project.xml file

-------------------------------

     Resolution: Won't Fix
    Fix Version:     (was: 1.1-beta-1)

The parser we are using doesn't support it, and we have taken the view that entities should not be allowed as POMs should be able to exist in forms other than XML, and so need to capture all the information themselves.

http://maven.apache.org/reference/backwards-compatibility.html
http://maven.apache.org/faq.html#using-entities

We had intended to allow the use of an alternate parser (crimson/xerces built-in), but this was not completed for 1.1-beta-1.

If you think you have a use case that requires entities, please refer it to the maven users list, and we'll look into it or a suitable alternative.
