---------------------------------

             Summary: pom.xml: Uncaught IllegalArgumentException when parsing 
unicode entity ref 
                 Key: MNG-6577
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-6577
             Project: Maven
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: POM
    Affects Versions: 3.6.0, 3.5.4
            Reporter: Rohan Padhye


Sample Maven {{pom.xml}} below:
{code:java}
<project name="&#xFFFFFF;"></project>{code}
0xFFFFFF is not a valid Unicode codepoint. This leads to the following uncaught 
exception arising from plexus:
{code:java}

...{code}
I'm guessing the expected behavior is to throw an {{XMLPullParserException}} 
instead, to signal an unparsable entity.
