This PR is created to fix the issue #242.
The default parsing of htmlparser2 appears to have a unique handling mechanism for self-closing or void tags. It only parses void tags from a predefined list of known HTML self-closing tags.
<url />
is not on the list which makes the parser discard subsequent tags in pom.xml such as<dependencies>
and<build>
. Here'sxmlMode
referenced in htmlparser2.Enabling XML mode fixes the issue, and so the extension is able to edit the existing
<dependencies>
body.I only tested the code manually and haven't added any automated tests.
