Description

Maven hangs (infinitie loop, 100% CPU) when provided with a malformed pom.xml file that contains a question mark in a tag name.

Minimal example for a pom.xml: 

<project /><?>

 
Running mvn results in the output:

[INFO] Scanning for projects...

  
And is stuck there forever, instead of providing an error message.

I found this issue using JQF.
