Martin Kanters created MNG-7052:
-----------------------------------
Summary: Do not allow symbols as first character of identifiers in
the POM
Key: MNG-7052
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-7052
Project: Maven
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: core
Reporter: Martin Kanters
Fix For: 4.0.x-candidate
In the {{DefaultModelValidator}} we currently validate identifiers against
{{a-zA-Z0-9-_.}}
Since Maven also allows operators to be used against an identifier, this can
result in bugs or at least unexpected behavior for the user.
The minus operator can be used to deactivate a certain profile, so an example
would be:
- A project having a profile with the id {{-id-of-profile}}
- A Maven invocation of {{mvn <goal> -P-id-of-profile}}.
The release of Maven 4 is a nice opportunity to restrict the first character of
an id to be {{a-zA-Z0-9}} . The other characters may still consist of those
symbols.
This should apply to all identifiers that we support. The methods that need
attention are:
{{DefaultModelValidator#validateId}} and
{{DefaultModelValidator#validateIdWithWildcards}}.
