------------------------------------------
Summary: Malformed --> Invalid error message
Key: MNG-6864
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-6864
Project: Maven
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Elliotte Rusty Harold
Recently got this error messge:
[INFO] Scanning for projects...
[ERROR] [ERROR] Some problems were encountered while processing the POMs:
[ERROR] Malformed POM
/home/elharo/java-docs-samples/storage/space/debugstorage/pom.xml: Unrecognised
tag: 'project' (position: START_TAG seen ...<dependencies>\n \n <project>...
@33:14) @ /home/elharo/java-docs-samples/storage/space/debugstorage/pom.xml,
line 33, column 14
The error message was mostly correct. I had some elements where they weren't
supposed to be. However the POM was well-formed as all tags balanced. It was
invalid–not malformed–because the tags weren't where they should be.
