Or is the XML writer is broken and won't do that, then the escaping should be done after the string is extracted from the buildJob and before it's passed to the writer. Escaping strings inside the buildJob breaks its semantics and tightly couples all the classes together in one particularly brittle path. Yes, the XML writer is broken and needs an issue. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
