Description

I have a Visual Studio project, when I do perform release in Continuum it results in: Release Error Unable to get release plugin parameters and process project - only whitespace content allowed before start tag and not \uef (position: START_DOCUMENT seen \uef... @1:1). The error doesn't indicate which file Continuum is having a problem processing. After some time spent investigating the files, I noticed the BOM character was in the POM causing the error in release. Additionally,I was able to successfully run 'mvn release:prepare -DdryRun=true -DautoVersionSubmodules=true' at the command line.

I tried running mvn release:prepare for a POM with BOM at the start of the text stream in the command line and I'm getting the same error. Running clean install didn't work as well and I'm using maven 2.2.1

What maven version did you use?

Can you also give a sample project for this. Thanks!

The problem is with the plexus XMLPullParser. It doesn't handle UTF-8 BOM at the start of the text.

In MNG-2255, they suggested to use an external XMLPullParser instead of the plexus one.

Instead of using the FileReader, I used the ReaderFactory of plexus util for creating an xml reader instance so that the encoding will be recognized.

As for the problem with the BOM, I submitted a patch in MNG-4667 that will allow user to strip the BOM out of the POM, so you don't need to manually remove it.
