[M2] Using Special Chars (& etc.) in POM properties

[Graham Whitehead]

Try again as Plain Text....

Hi,

Does anyone know how to use an ampersand (&) as part of a property value in
a POM?

eg.
<project>
  <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
  .
  .
  .
  <properties>
    <a.property>text1 && text2 && text3</a.property>
  </properties>
  .
  .
  .
</project>

I have tried using &amp; and &#26; with no success.

When using &amp; I get the following message:
Caused by: org.codehaus.plexus.util.xml.pull.XmlPullParserException: entity
reference names can not start with character '&' (position: START_TAG seen
...<command>test1 &&... @153:57)
        at
org.codehaus.plexus.util.xml.pull.MXParser.parseEntityRef(MXParser.ja
va:2209)
.
.
.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Graham.
