strict flag not considered for handling of invalid nested elements within an association list.

• Complexity:

  Intermediate

the bcel:bcel:5.1 POM (http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/bcel/bcel/5.1/bcel-5.1.pom) contains:

<dependencies>
  <groupId>regexp</groupId>
  <artifactId>regexp</artifactId>
  <version>1.2</version>
</dependencies>

Since the generated maven-model code expects elements named 'dependency' inside the 'dependencies' element, and doesn't consider whether the parse is being handled in strict mode or not, an XmlPullParserException is always thrown.

Same goes when you have a resource defined as:

<resource>
  <directory>blah</directory>
  <includes>
    <includes>**/*</includes>
  </includes>
</resource>

as is done in http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/mortbay/jetty/jsp-2.1/6.1.11/jsp-2.1-6.1.11.pom
