Hi, CONTINUUM-2507 is the one where Continuum can't release because of the BOM at the start of the POM.
I tried building a POM with a BOM at the start from the command line and I'm still getting this error: only whitespace content allowed before start tag and not \uef (position: START_DOCUMENT seen \uef... @1:1) Doing the release from the command line also produces the same error and I'm using Maven 2.2.1 I found some similar issues filed in MAVEN like http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2057 but it was closed as a duplicate of http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2254. I don't think the fix for MNG-2254 really fixes this issue. The plexus XMLPullParser doesn't handle BOM at the start of the text stream for UTF-8. So I think this should be fixed either in Maven or the Plexus Util itself. What do others think? Any comments or suggestions? Thanks, -- Marica
