XmlModuleDescriptorUpdater is a mess that produces broken xmls in many cases
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: IVY-1010
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IVY-1010
Project: Ivy
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Core
Affects Versions: 2.0-RC2
Reporter: Alexey Ermakov
There are many severe issues with charsets and xml processing in general in
XmlModuleDescriptorUpdater#copyHeader() and the rest of
XmlModuleDescriptorUpdater.
Namely, you 1) don't check for byte-order mark presence, 2) don't perform the
XML encoding guessing processed as per XML spec, 3) open ivy.xml in
platform-default encoding, 4) write your own XML serializer that doesn't even
do output escaping for character data.
I recommend you to send one of your programmers to an XML 101 course and
rewrite this mess using standard XML apis, such as DOM or StAX.
To reproduce parts 1)-3), try resolving and publishing a module with ivy.xml in
UTF-16LE (with BOM).
