mvn site:site fails

[Philippe Tjon-A-Hen]

I have the following pom.xml

<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"; xmlns:xsi="
http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xsi:schemaLocation="
http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0
http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd";>
  <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
  <groupId>nl.tjonahen</groupId>
  <artifactId>reportbug</artifactId>
  <version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
  <name>Mix &amp; Match</name>
  <description>Mix &amp; Match project try generating a site for this
one</description>
</project>

Wich builds perfectly. However if I try to run a mvn site:site it fails
with a
"entity reference names can not start with character ' ' (position:
START_DOCUMENT seen ...<project name="Mix & ... @21:22)"

Does any one know how to fix this?. (besides removing the &amp; from the
pom file)
