I am trying to add simple property in my local profile.

<profile>
  <id>local</id>
      <properties>
         <property>
           <name>localurl</name>  // line 111, column 27 is "l"                        
           <value>http://localhost:8080</value>
         </property>
       </properties>
</profile>

When I clean the project, I get the following error.

TEXT must be immediately followed by END_TAG and not START_TAG
(position: START_TAG seen ...<property>\n                    <name>...
@111:27)  @ line 111, column 27

I mentioned line number in the above profile snippet. I am not sure why this is happening. I am using maven 3.3.3 and Java 1.8.

I have searched few articles and this question in stackoverflow but it did not help much.

Any idea why this error is coming?

EDIT If I comment the <property> part, this error does not come.

This is my pom.xml

  • can you post the complete pom file please. – Jens Jul 27 '15 at 11:55
  • @Jens would it make any difference? because if I comment this `property` part, it works fine. – Karthik Jul 27 '15 at 11:57
  • But the problem can be some lines before. – Jens Jul 27 '15 at 11:59
  • Can you try `http://localhost:8080` ? – Peter Lawrey Jul 27 '15 at 12:01
  • You have a "" after escape comments:"//". This is because you have "//" embedded in the URL. You should escape the "//" in the URL, – rossum Jul 27 '15 at 12:02
  • @rossum I have tried `http://localhost:8080`, even then I was getting the error. I was thinking `//` in quotes will be considered as comments. Is it wrong? – Karthik Jul 27 '15 at 12:08
  • @PeterLawrey I have tried that. I still get the same error. – Karthik Jul 27 '15 at 12:08
  • @karthik it can't be exactly the same as the text is different. Can you show us what error you get instead? – Peter Lawrey Jul 27 '15 at 12:12
  • I meant to say `TEXT must be immediately followed by END_TAG and not START_TAG` is same sir. My original error was saying `START_TAG seen ...`, when I added what you have suggested, the error was ` START_TAG seen ....` – Karthik Jul 27 '15 at 12:15

If I do 

<properties>
    <localurl>http://localhost:8080</localurl>
</properties>

or

<profiles>
    <profile>
        <id>local</id>
        <properties>
            <localurl>http://localhost:8080</localurl>
        </properties>
    </profile>
</profiles>

These work fine.

    Sorry sir, it worked fine now. I had an extra `property` tag when you have suggested and it was actually complaining about that. Thank you. – Karthik Jul 27 '15 at 12:31

    @karthik maven is not smart enough to realise you don't want to define a property called "property" ;) – Peter Lawrey Jul 27 '15 at 12:33

There is no <property> tag there, it should be just <name>value</name>. What IDE are you using? All of them should suggest only valid tags when editing XML file based on schema.
