---------------------------------------------
Summary: trimming can remove all whitespace
Key: MSHARED-953
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MSHARED-953
Project: Maven Shared Components
Issue Type: Bug
Components: maven-shared-utils
Reporter: Elliotte Rusty Harold
The trim parameter in buildDom methods in Xpp3DomBuilder is base don a serious
misunderstanding of how the characters method in SAX works. As currently
written, trim can potentially remove all whitespace in text content from a
document. A little more commonly, it will randomly remove or not remove
whitespace depending on how the SAX parser chooses to split text nodes when it
reports them.
It might be possible to implement this correctly at the cost of a lot of code
complexity if anyone is using this. More easily, we could make the parameter a
no-op and never trim.
