> Maven fails to detect pom.xml XML syntax error
> ----------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MNG-6020
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-6020
> Project: Maven
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: core
> Affects Versions: 3.2.5
> Environment: Mac OS X
> Reporter: Archie Cobbs
> Assignee: Robert Scholte
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 3.5.0

>
> I had a typo in my POM: there was an extra trailing {{</project>}} tag in the
> XML. This made the POM not be valid XML.
> Maven did not detect this error. While that may seem like a feature, it's
> really a bug, in particular because Maven will also happily deploy this
> invalid XML file.
> It led to this interesting situation which had us scratching our heads for a
> while; see https://issues.sonatype.org/browse/OSSRH-22411 for details.
> Recommendation: maven should throw an error if {{pom.xml}} is not valid XML.
