[richfaces-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (RF-12556) maven help:describe for maven-cdk-plugin gets failed: String index out of range: -1

[Brian Leathem (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/RF-12556?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12738215#comment-12738215 ] 

Brian Leathem commented on RF-12556:
------------------------------------

The plugin.xml file created by the maven-cdk-plugin is not parseable by the help:describe plugin.  The plugin.xml file pulls in content from a lot of places, including some javadoc.  I diffed the plugin.xml file from 3.3.3.Final to 4.0.0.####.M1, the period over which it broke - the diff is huge.  The only difference that stuck out as significant is the html entities representing the > etc., so I think it might be the nested html embeded in the javadoc.

To fix it, one will have to debug the help:describe execution, and see exactly what's causing the xml parse to fail.
