Dennis Lundberg commented on MSITE-196:
---------------------------------------
According to the xml spec
http://www.w3.org/TR/2006/REC-xml-20060816/#sec-prolog-dtd
"The document type declaration MUST appear before the first element in the
document."
So adding the license before it makes it an invalid xml document.
I couldn't find any info on whitespace before the document type declaration.
> Fml processing can't handle comments or blank lines before the <?xml version

> Project: Maven 2.x Site Plugin
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 2.0-beta-5
> Reporter: Brian Fox
> Priority: Minor
>
> Introducing the apache license at the top of the file causes an exception,
> even having a blank line will cause the same problem. In order to make this
> work, I had to do this:
> <?xml version="1.0"?>
