[ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/CONTINUUM-1801?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=230893#action_230893 ] 

Stephen M. Wick commented on CONTINUUM-1801:
--------------------------------------------

I am having this same problem with Redhat 5.4, Java 1.6.0_18, Maven 2.2.1, and Continuum 1.3.5.  It happens when I use continuum to perform a release of my java project.  It doesn't happen every time.  The <project-name>.pom that is produced is 12288 bytes in size (3x4096).  Unfortunately it doesn't happen every time, and I cannot send you my work project without having you sign a release for legal reasons.  Is there any way I can help you troubleshoot this issue without sending you a project to reproduce the problem?

> When building a Maven 2 project with 20 or more exclusions from a dependency, that project builds correctly. 
> For example,
> <dependency>
>          <groupId>org.springmodules</groupId>
>          <artifactId>spring-modules-cache</artifactId>
>          <version>0.8a</version>
>          <exclusions>
>             <exclusion>
>                <groupId>gigaspaces</groupId>            
>                <artifactId>gigaspaces-ce</artifactId>
>             </exclusion>
>            ... many more exclusions
> build correctly for a project.
> When this first project is a dependency of another project, the second project's build fails with an error similar to the following:
> [ERROR] BUILD ERROR
> [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
> [INFO] Error building POM (may not be this project's POM).
> Project ID: com.pearson.rase:test-management-gateway-client
> Reason: Failed to build model from file '/home/bbuilder/.m2/repository/com/pearson/rase/test-management-gateway-client/1.0.0/test-management-gateway-client-1.0.0.pom'.
> Error: 'no more data available - expected end tags &lt;/exclusion&gt;&lt;/exclusions&gt;&lt;/dependency&gt;&lt;/dependencies&gt;&lt;/project&gt; to close start tag &lt;exclusion&gt; from line 106 and start tag &lt;exclusions&gt; from line 28 and start tag &lt;dependency&gt; from line 24 and start tag &lt;dependencies&gt; from line 22 and start tag &lt;project&gt; from line 1, parser stopped on END_TAG seen ...&lt;groupId&gt;opensymphony&lt;/groupId&gt;\n          ... @108:11' for project com.pearson.rase:test-management-gateway-client
> This error disappears once the number of exclusions in the first project's dependency is reduced to 19 or less.
