 Description   

The ear plugin can handle pre-existing application.xml files. Since Gradle 2.0, we get the following error when Gradle tries to load our existing application.xml file. This happens during the config phase:

  • What went wrong:
    A problem occurred evaluating project ':myproj'.
    > DOCTYPE ist nicht zulõssig, wenn das Feature "http://apache.org/xml/features/disallow-doctype-decl" auf "true" ges
    etzt ist.
  • Try:
    Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output.
  • Exception is:
    org.gradle.api.GradleScriptException: A problem occurred evaluating project ':myproj'.

BUILD FAILED

The DOCTYPE is required by at least some Application servers. See: [1]http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E13222_01/w...

I uploaded a minimalistic project reproducing the error. Just try to run any gradle task in it:

push as this still hasn't been acknowledged and is a shop stopper for EAR projects.

As announced on the Gradle blog we are planning to completely migrate issues from JIRA to GitHub.

We intend to prioritize issues that are actionable and impactful while working more closely with the community. Many of our JIRA issues are inactionable or irrelevant. We would like to request your help to ensure we can appropriately prioritize JIRA issues you’ve contributed to.

Please confirm that you still advocate for your JIRA issue before December 10th, 2016 by:

  • Checking that your issues contain requisite context, impact, behaviors, and examples as described in our published guidelines.
  • Leave a comment on the JIRA issue or open a new GitHub issue confirming that the above is complete.

We look forward to collaborating with you more closely on GitHub. Thank you for your contribution to Gradle!
