Robert Scholte commented on MRELEASE-850:
-----------------------------------------
Just to be safe I'd like add a woodstox implementation, so users can switch
between the two depending on their wishes. Might be hard, but since this plugin
is quite critical we can't just move to another implementation and hope for the
best.
> mvn release:prepare reformats pom.xml comments

> Key: MRELEASE-850
> URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRELEASE-850
> Project: Maven Release Plugin
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 2.4.1
> Environment: openSUSE 12.3 (x86-64)
> Reporter: Tristan Miller
> Attachments: pom.xml
>
>
> We have a Maven project that contains licence headers as XML comments in the
> pom.xml files. We use a licence checker plugin which checks for the presence
> of these licence headers.
> It seems the mvn release:prepare command subtly reformats the XML comments.
> The licence checker runs after this reformatting, and fails since the licence
> header is no longer an exact match to the reference text. The problem occurs
> with the following comment lines:
> You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
> along with this program. If not, see <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
> Maven inserts some extra whitespace:
> You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
> along with this program. If not, see <http://www.gnu.org/licenses />.
> I suspect this is a bug in Maven (or whatever XML parser it relies on).
> Maven should not reformat XML comments (and especially not in a URL where
> whitespace is significant).
