<modelVersion> element in pom does not allow whitespace around version string -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MNG-4572 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-4572 Project: Maven 2 & 3 Issue Type: Bug Components: POM Affects Versions: 2.2.1 Reporter: jonathan gold Attachments: pom.xml, t.txt I'm using 2.2.x and was surprised to find that, while valid XML, the following are not valid in a pom.xml: <modelVersion> 4.0.0 </modelVersion> or <modelVersion> 4.0.0 </modelVersion> I had expected that the maven xml parser would be normalizing the whitespace, but looked in maven-2.2.x/maven-project/src/main/java/org/apache/maven/project/DefaultMavenProjectBuilder.java and found this in readModel(), line 1609: if ( modelSource.indexOf( "<modelVersion>" + MAVEN_MODEL_VERSION ) < 0 ) { throw new InvalidProjectModelException( projectId, pomLocation, "Not a v" + MAVEN_MODEL_VERSION + " POM." ); } -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
