Microsoft XMLNotePad corrupts SA POMs - was 'can not reparse pom'

[kmoran]

When doing the logisticx tutorial I was getting stuck on the order-sa and order-route-sa steps.

I was getting unsuccessful builds when doing mvn install.

The error was 'can not reparse pom'

It would appear that this was because I was editing the pom with XMLNotePad.

Two bits of evidence:

1. if I generate the effective pom and install that it works. If I then make any change to this new pom using XMLNotePad the error returns

2. if I load the pom (that now does not work) into the eclipse pom editor, make any change and save it, it works again.

Grrrrh - I've been stuck with this issue for two weeks.

Hi,

Thanks very much for the feedback. I tend to use eclipse also when editing POMs.
