Dan Fabulich updated SUREFIRE-456:
----------------------------------
Fix Version/s: Future
> Surefire doubly XML-escapes non-visible control characters
> ----------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: SUREFIRE-456
> URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SUREFIRE-456
> Project: Maven Surefire
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: xml generation
> Affects Versions: 2.4.2
> Reporter: Dan Fabulich
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: Future
>
>
> It's illegal to include a non-visible control character in XML, even as a
> character entity. e.g. "�" is illegal in XML, even though it's
> semantically meaningful.
> http://www.w3.org/TR/1998/REC-xml-19980210#charsets
> Disturbingly, Java's XML serializer will cheerfully print out � despite
> the fact that it will refuse to parse that entity.
> As a workaround, for 2.4.2 we're deliberately doublly XML-escaping
> non-visible control characters, printing them as "�" instead of
> "�" like they're supposed to be. That's better than any alternative I
> can think of (e.g. throwing the characters away in test results, replacing
> them with a "?" character).
