Hi, Actually the error message generated by Maven is correct.
> org.apache.maven.MavenException: Error parsing project.xml > '/Users/elharo/Projects/Jaxen/project.xml' so the error occurred while parsing your POM > org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: Content is not allowed in prolog. It found invalid prolog in your POM. Of course you have to know what prolog is. The following URL should give you more information: http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/REC-xml-20001006#sec-prolog-dtd Regards, Davy Toch On Thursday 06 October 2005 11:44, Elliotte Rusty Harold (JIRA) wrote: > Malformed project.xml caueses unexpected error > ---------------------------------------------- > > Key: MAVEN-1707 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MAVEN-1707 > Project: Maven > Type: Bug > Versions: 1.0.2 > Environment: Mac oS X 1.0.2, Java 1.4.2 > Reporter: Elliotte Rusty Harold > > > My project.xml is malformed.
