Sylwester Lachiewicz closed MSHARED-953.
----------------------------------------
Resolution: Auto Closed
> trimming can remove all whitespace
> ----------------------------------
>
> Key: MSHARED-953
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MSHARED-953
> Project: Maven Shared Components
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: maven-shared-utils
> Reporter: Elliotte Rusty Harold
> Priority: Critical
>
> The trim parameter in buildDom methods in Xpp3DomBuilder is based on a
> serious misunderstanding of how the characters method in SAX works. As
> currently written, trim can potentially remove all whitespace in text content
> from a document. A little more commonly, it will randomly remove or not
> remove whitespace depending on how the SAX parser chooses to split text nodes
> when it reports them.
> It might be possible to implement this correctly at the cost of a lot of code
> complexity if anyone is using this. More easily, we could make the parameter
> a no-op and never trim.
