POM files are XML, right?
Yes
So they ought to start with the following, no? <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> (possibly with no or different encoding)
Yes. Note that there is a bug [1] with regards to pom files and encoding, when using the release plugin. It has been solved and the fix will be included in the next release (2.0-beta-8). Currently the release plugin writes all poms as UTF-8.
This line seems to have been omitted from quite a few poms. Also, commons-parent-9.pom seems to have lost its AL header too - it was in version 8.
To avoid this in the future, you can follow the instructions [2] under the heading "Please prepare the POM(s) for the release".
