Description

This bug may be filed in the wrong place; for that I apologize in advance.

My Maven plugin configuration (which I think is parsed and implemented by Plexus) does not preserve leading or trailing (or only) whitespace content.

A (mapped-to-String) configuration element like this:

<suffix>   Hello   </suffix>

results in the string value "Hello" (no leading or trailing space). The same value is produced by any one of the following constructions:

<suffix><![CDATA[   Hello   ]]></suffix>

<suffix xml:space="preserve">   Hello   </suffix>

I believe this is a shortcoming of the Plexus XML configuration machinery.
