Patrick Moore commented on MOJO-1413:
-------------------------------------
@Jochen --
In answer to your question:
a) I did spend the time before posting this bug
b) the error messages supplied by the plugin indicated were uninformative and
had the appearance of programming error
c) initial and subsequent responses indicated that help was unlikely
d) there was no indication that there was any understanding that including the
standard w3 dtds in the xml-maven-plugin distribution was a really good idea,
e) needing the w3 definitions is a usual usecase and that the xml-maven-plugin
didn't already have an automatic solution (nor any clear example)
f) I spend my allotted time trying to persuade the xml-maven-plugin developer
to do a simple upload of a catalog example from their system and I was
unsuccessful.
g) having to re-remember XML schemas and DTDs and public v. system ids etc is
not a good use of my time
h) the assumption that the best use of others time is to figure out what the
xml-maven-plugin developers already know.
i) even when Robert struggled through this there were still problems
j) begging for assistance in the face of an RTFM attitude is rarely
successful. Sometimes the M is not that readable and the M has its own "bugs".
Therefore there was low probability of there being any real assistance and the
ROI of continued effort to solve this issue was low esp since we have a
workaround of not using the plugin.
Hope that helps.
@Robert -- thanks for your effort here.
