Thanks for your reply. I checked the files closely and there were no junk characters in the beginning of the file. I even converted the file to UTF-8 (with BOM and w/o) and also viewed them in a hex editor to be sure that no unwanted leading characters. >From my point of view the sample-data.xml in src/test/resources/ is a valid xml file. I tried removing the according plugin, but then I encounter subsequent errors.
The OS I am using is Ubuntu 9.04 (64 bit). Does someone have an idea how to solve or bypass this obstacle? Thanks, Stefan On May 18, 2009 10:07:12 am Matt Raible wrote: > I would try deleting the first few characters in sample-data.xml. > Matt
