Benjamin Bentmann reopened MRELEASE-221:
----------------------------------------
This was indeed reproducible: MRELEASE-254.
The problem is that the XML declaration and anything else outside of the root
element depend on a fragile detection algo using {{indexOf()}} on the
serialized DOM. If this detection fails, the stuff is simply dropped from the
resulting POM.
> XML header missing in modified POM after release:prepare
> --------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MRELEASE-221
> URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRELEASE-221
> Project: Maven 2.x Release Plugin
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 2.0-beta-5
> Environment: Windows XP, CVSNT, Eclipse
> Reporter: Alain Coetmeur
>
> When release plugin modifies the POM to prepare a new release,
> the new file does not containt the XML header
> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
> it cause problems with XML editors who ignore the encoding and breaks all
> unusual characters.
> some XML tools also don't accept XML files without headers...
