Benjamin Bentmann commented on MRELEASE-201: -------------------------------------------- Another encoding problem: The plugin (2.0-beta-7) does not output an XML declaration in the rewritten POM. While this might be acceptable for UTF-8 encoded POMs (although I would consider it a betst practice to always output an XML declaration), it is in general wrong for any other encoding. > Deployed POM is not valid XML > ----------------------------- > > Key: MRELEASE-201 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRELEASE-201 > Project: Maven 2.x Release Plugin > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Joerg Schaible > Attachments: MNG-2362.zip > > > If the POM has utf-8 encoding and you make usage of entities to support > extended characters, these characters are no longer encoded as entities in > the repository (well, the effect is already visible in > target/effective-pom.xml). This is not a rule of general, POMs with packaging > "pom" are installed and deployed correctly. > Multi module example. The attached archive contains a parent POM and a POM > for a jar.
