Property expansion in assembly/component descriptors does not escape &, <, >,
", or '
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MASSEMBLY-378
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MASSEMBLY-378
Project: Maven 2.x Assembly Plugin
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 2.2-beta-2
Reporter: Owen Jacobson
Attachments: assembly-escaping-issues.zip
I have a home directory that, for reasons that are mostly uninteresting, has a
& in it. Using ${basedir} in my projects' assembly descriptors causes the XML
parser for the descriptor to complain about
{{[INFO] Error reading assemblies: Error reading descriptor at:
src/main/assembly/examples.xml: Cannot read assembly descriptor from
interpolating filter of serialized version.}}
{{entity reference names can not start with character ' ' (position: START_TAG
seen ...<directory>/Volumes/Network Users & ... @7:43)}}
This seems to also be true for any other XML-magic character (any from the set
&, <, >, ", or ').
Attached is a zip of a minimal project that demonstrates the problem (even if
your $HOME doesn't have & in it) way, buildable with {{mvn package}}.
