Summary: Malformed --> Invalid error message Key: MNG-6864 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-6864 Project: Maven Issue Type: Bug Reporter: Elliotte Rusty Harold Recently got this error messge: [INFO] Scanning for projects... [ERROR] [ERROR] Some problems were encountered while processing the POMs: [ERROR] Malformed POM /home/elharo/java-docs-samples/storage/space/debugstorage/pom.xml: Unrecognised tag: 'project' (position: START_TAG seen ...<dependencies>\n \n <project>... @33:14) @ /home/elharo/java-docs-samples/storage/space/debugstorage/pom.xml, line 33, column 14 The error message was mostly correct. I had some elements where they weren't supposed to be. However the POM was well-formed as all tags balanced. It was invalid–not malformed–because the tags weren't where they should be. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
