new XStream version doesn't work with <?ignore

[Amit Amar]

I'm using xstream version 1.4.15 and I'm trying to upgrade to version: 1.4.17 without success.

The reason of failure is because I have files that contains flow diagrams in the file. please see attached:

example

and I got this execption:

XmlPullParserException: processing instruction started on line 20 and column 5 was not closed (position: END_TAG seen ...\t\t+---------->| Entered Assigned Unit\t|-------------------------->... @48:88)

How I can solve this issue and ignore this "<?ignore" section?

Thank you very much and have a nice day,

Amit.

Actually, this is not XStream's fault, but a problem of the XML parser in use.
However, since version 1.4.17 we use the MXParser instead of the Xpp3 parser
as default.

Since the default Xpp parser is localized by a service API, you can simply
remove the JARs for the mxparser and xmlpull from the classpath and add the
xpp3_min instead.

Hi,

Thank you for your comment.

I try to do what you told me to do:

<dependency>
<groupId>com.thoughtworks.xstream</groupId>
<artifactId>xstream</artifactId>
<version>1.4.17</version>
<exclusions>
<exclusion>
<groupId>io.github.x-stream</groupId>
<artifactId>mxparser</artifactId>
</exclusion>
<exclusion>
<groupId>xmlpull</groupId>
<artifactId>xmlpull</artifactId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>
</dependency>

and this is not worked.. I didn't add the xpp3_min (I saw in xstream pom that this xpp3_min jar already included)

This is what you meant?

Please let me know,

BR,

Amit.

XStream 1.4.17 declares xpp3_min as optional dependency. i.e. if you want to
use it, you have to declare it in your own project yourself.

Yes.

BTW: Can you create a bug issue here for the MXParser:

Thanks!
